Chapter 237: A Model for Supporting the Army
The general walked up the bluestone steps, reversed the horsewhip, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask Guizhitang's Xiaolang Zhongzuo Zhongzuo Shaoyang Gongzi is there?" ”
Zuo Gui and the Liang family were shocked, they didn't know what this general was looking for his son to do, could it be that the matter of hiding food at home was revealed, and the official army came to the door? Liang was so frightened that his whole body trembled, Zuo Gui was quite calm, but he stammered a little when he spoke, and arched his hand: "Zuo Zhong is a ......, he is a dog, I don't know ...... the general is looking for him, what is the reason for looking for him?" ”
"Naturally there is a good thing to find him! Hahaha, where is he? ”
Zuo Gui glanced at Zuo Shaoyang sideways.
Zuo Shaoyang leaned on crutches and arched his hand: "I am Zuo Zhong, the general please talk in the room." ”
Zuo Gui reflected: "Yes, yes, please in the house, please in the general's house!" ”
The general smiled and said, "There's no time to sit, Zuo Gongzi, please take the plaque first." We still have work to do. ”
"Plaque?" Zuo Gui glanced at the long red silk plaque in front of the door.
"Exactly!" The general arched his hand and said: "First of all, let me introduce myself, the last general's surname is Fu, and Gong is the leader of the personal guard of General Li, the commander of the counterinsurgency army." This time, on the order of General Li, I came to present the plaque inscribed by General Li to Guitang Xiaolang Zhongzuo Guizuo Shaoyang. ”
Zuo Gui's family looked at each other, surprised and delighted, Zuo Gui hurriedly bowed down and said: "How can the dog be so loved by the general?" ”
"Haha, Zuo Langzhong, you also underestimate Ling Lang, the last time the rebels attacked Hezhou, Ling Lang risked his life to go to the city to treat the wounded, and Guitang also took the initiative to treat many wounded of our army, taking care of them carefully, treating them carefully, which made people doubly moved. What is even more admirable is that the former said that our army and the rebels fought outside the west city, our soldiers were wounded thousands, Ling Lang led people to risk death out of the city to rescue, saved the lives of countless wounded, and finally unfortunately fell into the enemy surrounding, he bravely killed the enemy, fought bloodily, killed 28 enemies, and was seriously wounded! ――Zuo Gongzi, how is the current injury? ”
Zuo Shaoyang didn't think that everyone knew everything about himself, presumably it was the result of Fan Hei's face reporting his advanced deeds, but it was a little exaggerated, and he put the matter of killing the enemy on the shoulder. He arched his hand and said, "Thanks to my concern, there is no big problem." ”
"The last general listened to the introduction of Liu Huochang, the commander of our army, Zuo Gongzi returned to the city at that time, and his fate was already hanging by a thread, and he couldn't imagine that he would recover so quickly, he was really skilled in medicine, and the sky had eyes!"
Zuo Shaoyang smiled dryly and said: "There are two things that the team just said about treating wounded soldiers and treating wounded soldiers, but this is not the work of a villain, and I dare not plunder the beauty of people." ”
Team Fu smiled: "The one who killed the twenty-eight enemy soldiers was a girl surnamed Miao?" ”
"Exactly, she was still there just now, and she just went out for something."
"According to Team Fan of the Third Team of the First Regiment of the Leopard Cavalry who reported the situation, this Miao girl is the godsister of Gongzi, right?"
Zuo Shaoyang thought about it, he did introduce Fan Heimian like this before, and it was not wrong to say that he was a godgirl, so he nodded and said, "Yes." She's my godsister. ”
"Godsister is also a relative!" Team Fu said with a smile: "Your sister followed you to the front line to treat the wounded and kill the enemy, she is a woman, she can't be an official, and the function of the sister is borne by the elder brother, which is justified." She killed you, and you don't speak as a family, right? ”
"I'm afraid this ...... is inappropriate, right?" Zuo Shaoyang was hesitant, he didn't want to grab this credit, and wanted Miao Peilan to have some benefits.
Team Fu was looking left and right, took a step forward, the drums were noisy, put his head to Zuo Shaoyang's ear, and said in a low voice: "Zuo Gongzi, to tell you the truth, the military situation is grim now, and it is a critical juncture of life and death. This person is you! ”
"Huh?" Zuo Shaoyang was taken aback.
Team Fu said: "Your typical model is determined by the general himself!" The general does not send the officials in charge of rewarding in the army, but specially sends me, the general's personal army, to present the plaque inscribed to you by him, what does it mean? It shows that the general attaches great importance to this matter! Therefore, you must not be too bookish and angry, you must obey the arrangement of the general, what the general says is what it is, don't distinguish, let alone embarrass the general! Don't let down the general's kindness! We must obey the general's orders, assist the general to shoulder the important task of inspiring the hearts of the army and the people, and work together to defend Hezhou and defeat the judgment army! Do you understand? ”
Zuo Shaoyang's heart chilled when he heard this, since the general insisted on putting the credit for this Miao Peilan's killing of 28 enemy soldiers on his head, so as to establish a typical example of a great hero, how could he compete with the general as a flat-headed commoner? It seems that she can only accept it cheekily, and when she gets the benefits, she can just give her the part that Miao Peilan deserves.
Thinking of this, Zuo Shaoyang said: "I understand, I must obey the general's arrangement!" ”
"Hmm!" Team Fu patted Zuo Shaoyang on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Very good!" Don't worry, the general won't let you suffer! ”
"Yes, thank you Team Fu for your support!" Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're a good guy, you're a good guy, you're a talent." Team Fu turned around, waved his hand, and the drumming stopped.
Team Fu said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Zuo Gongzi, please unveil the plaque inscribed to you by the general!" ”
"This, -- or my father will reveal it, right?"
"That's not good, this plaque is inscribed by the general and presented to you to the son. No one else can do it for you. ”
"That's ......, how can you reveal it? I've never encountered anything like this. Zuo Shaoyang sneered.
"Hehehe, don't be nervous, just step forward and bow respectfully, and then uncover the red silk on it."
Zuo Shaoyang smiled, and was about to go down the steps with a cane, Bai Zhihan hurriedly came over and supported him with one hand, Bai Zhihan was wearing a bearded man's clothes, and he also plastered his face, and the Fu team didn't care much, and thought it was the medicine boy of Guizhitang.
Zuo Shaoyang limped to the plaque and made a respectful gesture first. Only then did he grab the red silk on one side and glanced at Fu Teamzheng. Team Fu was nodding. Zuo Shaoyang gently took off the red silk.
The red silk was lifted off, revealing a large plaque with gold edges and a blue background, and a pair of inscriptions on rice paper were pasted on the plaque, and the four vermilion characters of Dou Da read: -- "Model of Supporting the Army"!
The small vertical line of the upper paragraph reads: "General Xiaowei of the right" followed by a seal, which is an ancient seal, after careful debate, even guessed that it should be "Zhao Wang Li Yuanjing seal".
The next paragraph reads in small vertical letters: "Title: Jiagui Zhitang Lang Zhongzuo Zhong Shaoyang." Another line of small characters is the period: "Zhenguan second spring".
"A model for supporting the army"?
Zuo Shaoyang tilted his head and looked, this title is too vulgar, right? Could it be that this general is a big boss? Then there should be a master to help come up with ideas. And this word, the knife and axe are general, although domineering, but too public, compared to the father Zuogui's words are flat and stable, mellow and subtle. However, it was inscribed by the general, even if it was a chicken claw, it was also a precious ink treasure. Busy and thankful.
Zuo Gui also paced over, looked at the inscription on the plaque, shook his head and chanted, and praised it without stopping: "Good words!" Free, magnificent, majestic, the general is good at calligraphy! ”
Team Fu smiled and said, "Do you know who our general is?" ”
Both of them hurriedly shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
Team Fu said with a grin: "Our general is terrible, that is the sixth emperor brother of the current emperor, the king of Zhao who was named by Emperor Gaozu." After the current emperor ascended the throne, he was awarded the title of General of the Right Xiaowei. This time, the emperor sent a general to lead the army to quell the rebellion and suppress the bandits, which shows the importance attached to the general. ”
Only then did Zuo Shaoyang understand that this Li Yuanjing turned out to be the sixth brother of the current emperor Li Shimin, Prince Zhao. It was the first time he had heard of this Zhao prince, and since Li Shimin asked him to lead his troops to fight, this prince should have two fights. It's just that he ordered the requisition of grain, and if he didn't pay the grain, he would be beheaded, and this surname was too tyrannical.
Fu Teamzheng said again: "The matter was in a hurry, the general didn't have time to frame it after it was written, so he brought it together with the plaque, and let you find a craftsman to engrave and frame it and hang it in the high hall." ”
Zuo Gui hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
Team Fu pointed to the lobby and asked Zuo Gui, "Is there anyone in the lobby?" ”
"This ......, there are a few guys ......"
"Except for you father and son, everyone else avoids it!"
"Yes, yes!" Zuo Gui hurriedly ran into the house, and asked Fan Heimian and Miao Peilan's family to hide in the back alley outside the kitchen. Then he ran out and said, "It's all avoided." ”
Team Fu nodded, turned his head to look into the distance, seemed to be looking for something, and then beckoned. Zuo Shaoyang also hurriedly looked up, only to see someone in the distance leading a war horse, immediately carrying two large baskets, I don't know what it contains.
In the distance, the soldier led his horse and walked quickly. When they arrived at the door of the pharmacy, Team Fu was whispering, "Carry it in!" ”
Several soldiers stepped forward, unloaded the two baskets from their horses, and carried them into the pharmacy.
Only then did Team Fu arch his hand and said, "Two of you, let's talk in the room." "I didn't give way, and I stepped into the pharmacy first. Zuo Gui hurriedly followed into the pharmacy. Bai Zhihan helped Zuo Shaoyang into the pharmacy, then exited the store and closed the door of the store.
The two baskets were in the lobby. The lid had been lifted, and there were indeed two large bags of things inside, and I don't know what they contained.
Team Fu was pointing to the things in the basket with a whip, and whispered to Zuo Shaoyang and Zuo Gui: "Zuo Gongzi, there are two bags of white rice here, a bag of ten buckets, a total of twenty buckets." In addition, there is a slice of pork and a basket of duck eggs, which are the reward given to you by the general to replenish your body. ”
Zuo Shaoyang and Daddy Zuo Gui were both surprised and delighted, and they were busy thanking them. Team Fu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, listen to me." -- The general wants to set you up as a model of supporting the army, but it is not enough to treat the wounded soldiers and kill the rebels in the front, and now what our army lacks most is food, so the general wants to use this grain to mold you into a model who enthusiastically sells grain to the officers and soldiers!"
