Chapter 227: Hard to decide
(Yesterday's red ticket hit a new high, reaching 511!) I love you! Continue to ask for red ticket collection)
The sun in October had already begun to sleep in, and when he slowly rose up from the eastern horizon, Li Xian and Chen Que and Zhu Yishi had been drifting on the water for a while. Li Xian no longer remembers how much wine he drank last night, nor how much he vomited, and now his strongest feeling is not sleepiness but hunger, maybe he vomited too much so that his stomach is empty.
He asked the soldier holding the boat to stop, then turned his head and asked Chen Qi'er, "Did you bring anything to eat on the boat?" If you don't have anything to eat, then you don't have a fishing rod? ”
Chen Que'er spread her hands and said, "The general is in such a hurry to pull the two of us out of the bed, he must have brought nothing." ”
Li Xian stroked his slightly deflated stomach and sighed: "It's really a very uncomfortable thing to have nothing to eat when you're hungry." The discomfort in my heart was stronger than the discomfort in my stomach, but I felt very comfortable lying on this boat, and I didn't want to go back, and I hadn't finished watching it. ”
Zhu Yishi smiled: "What's so embarrassing about this? ”
He flashed his robe and wore only close-fitting clothes, stood on the side of the boat and moved a few times and said with a smile: "I grew up by the water since I was a child, and it was difficult for me to go down to the river to fish when I was a child. ”
Li Xian smiled and made an analogy and said: "Children who grow up by the water play and fish in the water, just like children on the plains who pee and fart in the mud." ”
He was lying on the bow deck of the ship, looking at Zhu Yishi slightly sideways and asked seriously: "Brother Hongyuan, did you ever play a game of sitting on the sand and farting when you were a child?" ”
Zhu Yishi smiled wryly: "This is really not there." ”
"And have you ever farted in the water while snorkeling?"
Li Xian asked reluctantly.
Zhu Yishi sighed, glanced at Li Xian and said, "This ...... Yes, there is. ”
Li Xian said nostalgically: "I have also tried, and the fart and bubbles in the water are more interesting than the collapse of the pit on the sand." ”
Zhu Yishi sighed in his heart, general, general, why have you been playing fart all the time in your childhood?
After moving his body, Zhu Yishi said to Li Xian: "General, and later, I will catch a fat fish in a while, although there is no food on the boat, there is wine, I have long heard that General, your skills in grilling fish are unique in the world, and those who have eaten them are full of praise." Zhang Da once said, general, you have three uniques, archery, knife, barbecue, if compared with barbecue, archery and knife skills have to be in the back row. I came out in such a hurry today, I didn't expect to be able to taste the general's grilled fish. ”
Li Xian stretched out his hand and touched the deerskin pouch that never left his body and said: "This is no problem, the biggest advantage of me is that I am delicious and lazy, so I usually carry the seasoning of barbecue with me." But don't mention these three musts in the future, in addition to the barbecue, how dare you call the other two things a little bit good? In front of my master Daxi Changru, I don't dare to say that I can use a knife, and there is a text in this world, and my little unpopular knife skills are not worth mentioning. As for archery, Ye Da is a female streamer, and her archery seems to be a few points better than me. ”
Zhu Yishi said with a smile: "Since Zhang Da said so, it must be reasonable." ”
After speaking, he made a jumping posture and was about to jump into the water, just as Li Xian said: "Actually, my grandfather also has three uniques, delicious, lazy, and thick-skinned." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yishi's posture when he jumped up changed shape, and he smashed into the water extremely ugly, splashing a large wave and wetting Li Xian and Chen Qi'er's clothes. He obviously wanted to be a chic fish and jump into the water, but unfortunately because of Li Xian's words, his limbs were deformed and fell into the water. Li Xian wiped the water traces on his face, with a blank look of confusion and a little understanding: "Looking at Zhu Yishi's posture when he also entered the water, I am more and more suspicious that he is really suspected of bragging when he said how powerful he is in the water." ”
Chen Que'er nodded and said, "That makes sense......"
In fact, Zhu Yishi's water surname is indeed excellent, although the posture of entering the water is difficult to see even he himself is ashamed, it is estimated that when he was five years old, the fish jumped into the water and was much more beautiful than now, but he only adjusted a little in the water and dived out underwater like a swimming fish, until Li Xian and Chen Qi'er couldn't see his shadow in the water, and they didn't see him show out to breathe.
According to Li Xian's understanding, it is already remarkable for a person to be able to dive in the water for a minute and a half. He counted softly from Zhu Yishi's entry into the water, and it was not until one hundred and six that Zhu Yishi came out of the water, and he held a fat big fish in one hand and swam back with the other.
"General, is this fish fat?"
After holding it for so long, he didn't blush or pant for breath.
Li Xian exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is worthy of its name!" ”
Zhu Yishi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was praising himself, and he threw the big fish onto the boat: "One fish is not enough to eat, I'll touch a few more." ”
……
……
After only walking a small area of Shuibo, Li Xian sighed while nibbling on grilled fish: "Shuibo's terrain is too good, there are places everywhere that can ambush soldiers, as long as Feng Xiaoci can be introduced into Shuibo, I would like to see how our water army has practiced in the past few months." ”
"If Feng Xiaoci is in a hurry, he can only attack from Shuibo! The terrain of the cottage is too dangerous, and the men and horses on the besieging side can't be used at all, and hundreds of people and hundreds of people are purely sending them to death. ”
Chen Que'er said: "By the way, general, just now you said that you were forcing Feng Xiaoci to attack in the place where we just left, is it Yuncheng?" ”
Li Xian smiled and said, "Actually, it's not Yuncheng, but the people in Yuncheng." Moreover, let's be regarded as unintentionally inserting willows, Feng Xiaoci has to be anxious even if he is not in a hurry. ”
After a few days, Yuncheng.
A few days ago, the county guard Wu Xingzhi and Zhang Sanheng, who got the news, waited outside the city with the officials of Dongping County, and looked at the dust and smoke on the official road in front of him from a distance, knowing that it was the army of the right Hou Wei who had arrived, Wu Xingzhi and Zhang Sanheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The things that the two of them were thinking about at this time were the same, they were all regretting the so much grain in the granary of Yuncheng and the amount of money they had to take out.
If they had known that the soldiers of the Right Hou Guard had come to suppress the thieves of Ju Yeze, how could they suffer such a big loss?
A few days ago, the people sent by the imperial court to deliver the message were late, because the bandits along the road were too serious, and he delayed for a few days, so that he arrived two days later than Li Xian's men. When they learned that His Majesty personally ordered to send troops to exterminate the thieves in Yanyunzhai, Wu Xingzhi and Zhang Sanheng both sighed. What a pity, as long as you stick to it for five or six days, you can catch all the rampant thieves in Yanyun Village, and the more you think about it, the more distressed you become.
It is precisely because of the distress that both of them neglected a very important matter. It wasn't until Feng Xiaoci, the general of the Right Hou Wei, asked, that the two of them remembered, and then looked shocked and panicked.
"This time, General Ben was ordered to go in to suppress the thieves, and the required food and grass supplies were also requested to be allocated to me by the Emperor as soon as possible.
"This ......"
Wu Xingzhi looked at Feng Xiaoci with an extremely ugly face, but he didn't know what to say for a while. In the end, Zhang Sanheng had talked to Yu Wenshu after all, and knew that these cold-looking generals were actually all clear-minded people, so he immediately said solemnly and even with a little sadness: "The general doesn't know something!" ”
He pointed to the west gate tower of Yuncheng that collapsed half of the back, and said: "Just a few days before the arrival of the general, the thieves of Yanyun Village suddenly poured out to attack my Yuncheng, although Lord Fujun and I led the county soldiers and the people to resist and counterattack, and even killed a master of Yanyun Village, but because of the huge difference in strength, the city gate was broken by the thieves, and the granary of the city treasury was looted by the thieves, and the people in the city were also killed and injured countless times. Later, it was Lord Fujun and I who took advantage of the thieves to loot the property, and then organized a counterattack to kill the thieves. It's just that...... It's just that...... but the granary was empty. ”
"What!"
Feng Xiaoci's eyes widened fiercely: "There is no food in Yuncheng?" ”
Wu Xingzhi was taken aback by Feng Xiaoci's sharp gaze, and said, "There is no food." He lowered his head a little ashamedly, but suddenly realized that this Feng Xiaoci was too unkind, and he didn't ask about the thieves' attack on the city, even if it was a polite condolence, he only cared about grain and grass! Thinking of this, he raised it again, looked at Feng Xiaoci and said, "This official has done his best, and the people in the city have testified. ”
Feng Xiaoci was just anxious and surprised just now, because the lack of food in Yuncheng was a huge problem for Youhou Wei. He led the army to Yuncheng a few days earlier than originally planned, first, he wanted to raid and catch the thieves off guard. Second, it was because his army did not carry too much grain and grass at all. Now that he has just arrived in Dongping County, he has received such bad news that it can't be worse, how can he not be anxious?
Seeing that Wu Xingzhi's face changed, Feng Xiaoci also reacted immediately.
"Those damn thieves!"
He pretended to be angry and said: "Don't worry, this time, General Ben will definitely kill those thieves in Yanyun Village without leaving a piece of armor." A few days ago, did the thief attack Dongping County already play the imperial court? If not, General Ben is willing to play jointly with the prince. ”
That's a gesture of goodwill!
Wu Xingzhi immediately reacted: "Thank you, General!" ”
Feng Xiaoci hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is just official business, why do you need to thank me?" It's just that...... There is no food in our army, how can the soldiers fight with the thieves with their stomachs in their hands? Look...... gentleman"
Wu Xingzhi shook his head helplessly: "I can only say, try your best...... If the general doesn't believe it, he can go into the city and see that the treasury and granary have been moved by thieves! ”
"How many thieves are there?"
Feng Xiaoci asked.
"No less than 100,000!"
Zhang Sanheng gritted his teeth and said with a sad and angry face.
Feng Xiaoci was stunned, and a very strong sense of ominousness suddenly arose in his heart.
……
……
After finishing the reception banquet arranged by Wu Xingzhi and Zhang Sanheng, Feng Xiaoci shirked the important matters in the army and returned to the camp from the restaurant in a little hurry. He did not go to the city to live in the house arranged by Wu Province, but chose to live in the big tent in the army.
"Piff! Scum! ”
After entering the big tent and letting the left and right retreat, Feng Xiaoci took a sip of herbal tea, but he couldn't help the anger in his heart more and more, so he scolded.
Why did Yuncheng be attacked by thieves, and why the people in the city were killed and injured countless times, they were all fucking liars!
If he hadn't entered the city, just looking at the half of the collapsed city tower, Feng Xiaoci thought that the thieves from Juye Zeyan Yunzhai had really broken through the city gate and burned and looted in the city, but after entering the city, Feng Xiaoci immediately saw that something was wrong. None of the houses of the people in the city collapsed and caught fire, although the granary was really empty, but there was no mess inside, and there was no trace of fighting, not to mention the treasury, even the grass on the ground in the yard was not trampled on, this is the appearance of the bandits coming in and running rampant?
After a little thought, he understood the truth.
"The literati mislead the country, and the puppet misunderstands the country!"
Feng Xiaoci gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, and after a long while, he gradually calmed down: "Come on, please Hu Benlang will Cui Zhi, and Ying Yanglang will bring Liu Shibao to my big tent to discuss matters!" ”
After a short time, the two right-hand men who had gone to the banquet with him to return to their military tents hurried back. Feng Xiaoci looked at the two subordinates who had been fighting with him for a long time and sighed: "This battle is only afraid that it will be difficult to fight." There is no grain and grass in Yuncheng, and we have no supplies from the imperial court, so we can only fight quickly. So early in the morning, the two of you will follow me to check the terrain of Junozawa, in order to lure the thieves out for a decisive battle. ”
He glanced at Hu Benlang and Cui Zhi and said, "In addition, you send more people to search for ships, the more the merrier." ”
He stood up and looked at the starry sky outside the military tent, standing with his hands in his hands, his back lonely.
"If the thieves can't hold out, let's attack from the water, or ...... Withdraw? ”
