Chapter 381: No place to be ashamed
The eyes and attitude of the auxiliary soldiers gave Lu Huizhong a great stimulus, but he was at a loss when he heard the dense shouting and killing in front of him.
"Brother Zi'an, how are we doing? What are the plans for the ministry to take us on the expedition? Is it to act as a soldier or a counselor military aircraft? ”
Zhao Baisheng is quick to talk, he always thinks and says something, he has the same attitude as Mi Yan, he is very confused about this trip, and he is not as full of unrealistic excitement as Lu Huizhong.
Lu Huizhong was hit at this time, and he had long lost his mind in his heart, and after being questioned, he lost his previous atmosphere and suddenly became hysterical.
"What can be done? You ask me, and who do I ask? ”
Zhao Baisheng was robbed by Lu Huizhong, and even ridiculed him: "Who patted his chest and guaranteed it?" Now that we are in a situation where we can't go back to home, not to mention, we are still following the Xuanfu Army to send troops inexplicably, but we are given an identity task, as if it is so unclear now, what are we? ”
He held back these words in his heart for a long time, since the failure of the rebellion against the Three Guards, the position of the field service team in Xuanfu City has become extremely embarrassing, it turns out that the people of the Three Guards system have been shown to be traitors, and the people of the Xuanfu Army are also extremely disdainful of their behavior of selling themselves to the Lord, and no one has ever given them a good face, and because of the failure of the plan, even the Hongbutang has been made to be disgraced, so the previous promise has not only not been fulfilled, but has been hung up indefinitely.
After this period of fermentation, the dissatisfaction of the field service team with Lu Huizhong has reached an unprecedented level, and Zhao Baisheng's questioning quickly aroused the righteous indignation of the big guy, and only Mi Yan was mixed in the crowd without saying a word.
"What is the noise? It's really useless to be a scholar, and you know how to fight in the nest when you grow crops and fight! ”
A sudden rebuke made the soldiers of the field service team suddenly stunned, and after seeing clearly that it was a general in full armor, they were suddenly embarrassed and red, and a group of scholars who were above the top on weekdays and boasted of being loyal to the country were reprimanded in public by a martial artist, and it was really a shame to throw them to my grandmother's house.
"Who is Lu Huizhong? Who is Lu Huizhong standing up! ”
The general shouted twice in a row, and Lu Huizhong stood up with trepidation.
"It's Lu Huizhong below, I don't know what the general is calling next?"
The general looked him up and down a few times, his eyes were full of disdain, and said, "Come with us!" ”
Lu Huizhong didn't know this person's intentions, and looking at his attitude, it seemed that the person who came was not good, how dare he give in lightly? "The general doesn't make his intentions clear, please forgive me for not being able to obey my orders!"
"Hey! The kid still has some bones, let's say it straight, the handsome pass you, hurry up and follow us, it's late, you can't afford the handsome board! ”
The general's attitude seemed to have eased, and when Lu Huizhong heard that it was Hong Chengchou who had summoned him, he did not suspect that he had followed.
Along the way to the west, the generals and horses walked fast, and Lu Huizhong almost spread his two legs and galloped wildly before the generals followed, but after going out for several miles, he was already exhausted and crumbling. At this moment, he suddenly felt his body rise into the air, and in his astonishment, he realized that the general had arrived in front of him at some point, and lifted him up and put it behind the saddle.
Lu Huizhong intuitively felt that his body was in the clouds, and he didn't know how long he had been running, the war horse stopped in front of a military tent, and the general threw it on the ground again.
Outside the military tent, a soldier immediately came forward to ask who came and his intentions, and after listening to Lu Huizhong's explanation, he said coldly:
"The military situation is urgent, the marshal will go to the former enemy to supervise the battle, you can wait!"
Just one sentence knocked Lu Huizhong out of the military tent dozens of steps away, Lu Huizhong was very embarrassed and humiliated, but he could only bear it silently, and after calming down, he listened attentively, only to feel that the shouting and killing in the distance was faintly getting closer and closer, and an ominous premonition arose.
After a while, suddenly a large group of men and horses galloped over, shouting as they walked, "The Tartars are powerful, the commander has an order, and the Chinese army's big tent retreats five miles east......
I saw that there were many wounded people in this army, and their clothes and armor were stained with blood, obviously after a vicious battle, and Lu Hui's center was shocked to see it. Hong Chengchou is worthy of governing the army in a good way, just after the order, the soldiers put away the military tents everywhere, put some equipment and began to slowly retreat, during this period no one paid attention to Lu Huizhong and no one told him what to do, and then followed him to the east in a daze.
Just after retreating five miles to the east, the military tent was re-erected, Mi Yan, Zhao Baisheng and others also rushed over, and it happened that they arrived with Gao Keng, the eunuch of the hall who was ready to send an edict to Li Xin outside the side wall. Gao Keng has been completely out of the country since he took office with Li Fengxiang in Xuanfu, and no one is willing to take him in, and no one is willing to say a good word for him, and he is about to be driven to Nanjing to retire, so he happened to have this opportunity to go out of the border wall to pass the decree, this time there are Tartars everywhere, and it is full of unpredictable dangers outside the side wall, no one is willing to go, he just invited this errand down.
Fortunately, it was blocked, according to Gao Keng, Li Xin was quite capable and very good, and he seemed to be close to these eunuchs.
Zhao Baisheng saw that Lu Huizhong looked like a wolf, so he sneered, and Lu Huizhong just wanted to refute, but a team of elite horsemen roared up, and everyone was driven to both sides of the road. I saw the flags fluttering, and many generals galloped towards one person, who else could there be if it wasn't Hong Chengchou?
Lu Huizhong looked at Hong Chengchou with a stern face, but he didn't look at him at all, and went straight back to the military tent. After a short time, someone issued a military order.
"Spread Lu Huizhong's account!"
Where did Lu Huizhong dare to delay, he almost trotted in, and saw that Hong Chengchou no longer dared to hold it up, knelt on the ground in a proper manner, kowtowed and saluted, and then got up and stood on the spot. There was no movement for a long time, he peeked to see, Hong Chengchou was sitting on the desk, the table was full of documents, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Hong Butang was really loyal and diligent.
"Say, do you have any insights along the march?"
At the moment when Lu Huizhong was thinking wildly, Hong Chengchou's words exploded in Lu Huizhong's ears like a god, so shocked that he almost knelt down again, and Chenghuang replied truthfully in fear: "Huizhong is stupid...... Please also make it clear! ”
Lu Huizhong secretly raised his eyelids and glanced straight ahead, Hong Chengchou was still writing hard, without raising his head or looking at him.
"Study, study, what's the matter?"
Hong Chengchou asked for no reason, Lu Huizhong didn't think about it, and subconsciously replied: "Loyal to the monarch to serve the country!" ”
Unexpectedly, it was exchanged for a sneer from Hong Chengchou, and then he asked: "Loyal to the monarch to serve the country?" And what do you say last night? ”
Lu Huizhong was speechless, his construction last night, at first glance, did not benefit the court, but in the final analysis, he had great selfishness, and he sat back and watched his comrades fall into the city, isn't it contrary to what he said before?
"Regard the public instruments of the state as a tool for power and profit, Lu Huizhong, Lu Huizhong, have you read all your books in the belly of a dog? And the face said that studying is to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country? ”
Hong Chengchou said that in the end, he had become fierce, and Lu Huizhong was immediately dumbfounded, kneeling down and pleading guilty, he never expected that Hong Chengchou was a person who was dedicated to the public. At the same time, he was scolded by Hong Chengchou and woke up, yes, he had read the books of sages for more than ten years, and he kept saying that he was loyal to the monarch and serving the country, but at a critical juncture, he was carried away by fame and fortune, and almost made a big mistake.
At this moment, Lu Huizhong was already discouraged, and his clumsy appearance fell into the eyes of Hong Butang, and avoiding it had already made him extremely disdainful of himself. But then Hong Chengchou's words almost made him cry.
"Get up, Ben Shuai knows that you young people still have the blood of loyalty to the monarch and the country in their bones, but you are young and vigorous, and if you don't take it as a warning in the future, it will not only be the source of your own disaster, but also a great harm to the court, have you written it down?"
The tone was the same as the previous judgment, and it was all words of respect for the younger generations. Lu Huizhong suddenly felt that his body was dragged up by a pair of powerful big hands, and when he looked at it, he was in a trance, feeling that what was in front of him was so unreal.
"Ministry ......" only said two words, Lu Huizhong couldn't cry, there are grievances, there are also frustrations, from Taiyuan to Xinpingbao, and from Xinpingbao to Xuanfu, he has experienced several unprecedented blows in his life, and has been buried deep in his heart by a strong appearance. This strength was easily shattered at this moment, and he let Hong Chengchou help him up and press him on the seat.
……
Gao Keng didn't want to wait for Hong Chengchou's reception, after hearing that the war ahead had stopped for a while, when he had to go north with a dozen retinues, who knew that unexpectedly, Mi Yan actually stood up and asked to go with him to find Li Xin.
"Count me in!"
Zhao Baisheng also stood up, he was completely disappointed in Lu Huizhong, this person had completely become a stranger to him, instead of following a person who climbed up by any means, it was better to follow Mi Yan and Gao Keng to find Li Xin.
He knew that Li Xin was a general who was bent on fighting Tartars, and if he followed him, he would not encounter these extremely heart-stopping things.
Gao Keng was naturally overjoyed to see that there were two scholars who were willing to pass, and one more person would give him more strength, but he still had something to say.
"The future of this trip is uncertain, maybe there will be no return, maybe there will be no place to die, can you two think about it?"
Mi Yan said resolutely: "Since I mentioned it in the next, I naturally have already made a decision, and Gao Gong can rest assured!" ”
Zhao Baisheng also echoed: "In Xia and Brother Yuan, I have long been fed up with this smoky miasma bird place, instead of blocking my heart in the back, it is better to find a Tartar to fight!" ”
