Chapter 7: True Heroes Dragon and Tiger Meeting (3)
"Very good, has the title of the First Army been decided?"
"Since the subordinate is the head of the camp, and his subordinates are all miners, then it should be called the Tulong Army." Zheng Yunming replied sarcastically.
Zhao Fan only didn't understand this thorny thorn at all, and said casually: "Although the name is not majestic, it can be regarded as unpretentious." That's it, the weaving and dyeing households under the Ministry of Preparation will prepare the flags and the formation flags for you, and you will go down to prepare the other large and small flags at home, and you must use sufficient materials, and don't fall into the face of the Jinghu military horses when you go into battle. ”
Zheng Yunming was full of promises, bowed and bowed to leave.
When his figure disappeared outside the shadow wall at the entrance of the yamen, Zhao Fan said to the people behind the screen: "Luo Gong, what do you think of Zheng Guanren's attitude?" ”
Luo Jian slowly walked out after the screen, and muttered: "In the face of such almost provocative conditions, I still accept it all. Not only is this not the slightest bit arrogant, but it is a bit too humble. ”
"This hairy boy's kung fu is even more powerful than his father's back then." Zhao Fan sighed, and suddenly changed his words: "All the acres of land in charge of the head of Tuntian will be assigned to him near Jiangling, and don't leave it to Zheng Guanren in the north." ”
Luo Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The envoy wants to save Zheng Guanren's life, and when the big war is to move him away, don't let him participate in the battle to make trouble." Why bother to come up with such a maverick method? Since the establishment of the dynasty, only the general is also in charge of the camp and field envoys, how can there be a reason for the camp manager to lead the troops? ”
"After all, Luo Gong doesn't know anything, this little Zheng official according to Zheng Xianggong, although he is calm and cautious by nature, he is good at talking about soldiers, and he usually uses small puppets to set up troops at home and talk about the art of war. There is no doubt that he likes to talk about the art of war. The young man is arrogant, and it is the first time to lead a team of thousands of people, where is he willing to let go of the opportunity to show what he has learned in his life? At the end of the war, they will definitely go to the front line to make trouble. If he is really given such a title as the head of the military horse, he is a real military minister, and he will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, not to mention that the prime minister's son leads the troops, how can he look at me as a local magistrate? If the overall deployment of Ben Shuai is disrupted, it is a trivial matter for him to die, and he is afraid that the overall situation will be bad and he will never be able to save it again. ”
"That's why the marshal will give him such a civil official position with ingenuity, so that Hugh is a military minister, and even the general county order may overshadow him in terms of actual power." Luo Jian suddenly realized.
"Throw him to Gangneung to farm, how much combat effectiveness can the Tuntian Army have? At the beginning of the war, he only needed to prepare an official document from the envoy to transfer all the people in his hands, and he could not complain with his position. The corners of Zhao Fan's mouth rose: "This is a ploy to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle." ”
Luo Jian bowed down and congratulated: "It is a blessing for the country to make it possible for adults to use this plan." ”
"Is it the blessing of the country" Zhao Fan smiled bitterly: "As long as this little official can really restrain his heart and plant a few years with peace of mind, it will be the happiness of the entire Jinghu." ”
Zheng Yunming had just stepped out of the Yamen of the Establishment Envoy when he was hit by a hard object on his back.
"Don't look back." The voice was as clear and pleasant as when we first met, but it was so low that I couldn't hear it.
"A hundred steps forward to the left of the alley, start the third courtyard, the door is not locked, push the door in, I will follow you behind, remember, don't look back."
The hard object behind him was removed. Zheng Yunming sighed lightly, obediently followed Shi Wenhu's instructions, walked forward to the entrance of the alley, turned left and pushed the door into the third courtyard.
Soon after, a small farmer in a tattered garment and a hat rushed in, his eyes wide open under the cover of his dirty face, and whispered, "There is a secret passage in the west wing, come with me." ”
Shi Wenhu took Zheng Yunming into the west wing, walked directly to the Eight Immortals Table in it, stretched out his hand and turned one of the legs of the Eight Immortals Table, and the bluestone floor snapped, revealing a dark passage.
"From here, you can go straight to the Changchun Inn three streets away. Let's go down. Shi Wenhu picked up the oil lamp from the table, turned around and lit it under the kitchen, and motioned for Zheng Yunming to go down.
The dark tunnel was narrow and long, and the smell of the girl faintly came from the humid and hot air. Zheng Yun silently followed Shi Wenhu forward, but fortunately, it was dark in the tunnel, and he couldn't see his embarrassed appearance.
"They were ready to do it just now." Shi Wenhu said as he walked: "The original plan was to tie you up and smuggle you out of the city overnight, so as to catch up with the caravan that will leave tomorrow morning to the north. In ten days, you'll be locked up in Bianliang's prison. ”
"Kidnapping the imperial court officials at the gate of the envoy's office in broad daylight?" Zheng Yunming concluded that Shi Wenhu was talking nonsense: "How is this possible? ”
Shi Wenhu suddenly turned around, and his sharp eyes stared at Zheng Yunming: "Fifteen years ago, in Khorezm, a big country thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, the Mongolian army was overwhelming. The famous city of Barihe, in the northeast of the city, was under martial law, and the soldiers searched the city from house to house, and beheaded all men, women, and children who were not registered in the city, and then closed the city gates, and melted iron juice to pour the cracks in the doors. Send men to patrol the city walls day and night, and shoot whoever is not carrying the flag of Khorezm. ”
Then, on a moonlit night, the head of the Protector and the chief officials of the city disappeared. Frightened by this fact, the black city of Bari immediately surrendered to the Mongols. ”
"Do you know how much danger you are in now?" Shi Wenhu turned his head and continued to move forward with the oil lamp: "But don't worry, with me for a day, the Tartar will not succeed so easily." ”
The two walked through the tunnel and walked straight into the firewood room of the Changchun Inn, Shi Wenhu pushed the door open, and saw a slender man standing outside the door.
"At your pace, you're a little slower." The man's thin face showed a little surprised expression: "Damn, you're a woman!" I never thought of that! No wonder the sword was weak at that time, and it couldn't knock me off my horse. ”
Shi Wenhu's face changed suddenly, and he pulled out a glittering dagger from his sleeve and stopped in front of Zheng Yunming. ‘
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight." The thin man still looked calm, not at all like he was about to prepare for a vicious battle: "I'm just here to see, what kind of powerful character is it that has obstructed me several times?" ”
Shi Wenhu raised the dagger in front of him and put a door with his feet: "You're welcome, isn't it just a little girl!" ”
"Hmph, but there is really no one in the south, can you leave such a big thing as a spy to a woman?"
"I heard that there are not many women in the north who do this, such as Six Polo, Shanari, and Snow Lotus" Shi Wenhu was engrossed in meeting the enemy, but he did not hesitate to fight with the enemy.
"Hmph, ignorant women, it's not cool to do things, and the Khan's reuse of them is just greedy for convenience" The thin man looked down on those Mongolian beautiful spies who were active in the front line, and said indifferently: "Seeing that you are so immature, most of them have not been in this business for a long time, so go back as soon as possible and find someone to marry." Then there's the war between men, and you can't stay anywhere. ”
Shi Wenhu changed the posture of the dagger and said: "Seeing that you look so thin, most of them are not long in this business, go back and hide in your mother's arms earlier, and the next war aunt will not be so polite." ”
The thin man smiled helplessly and said, "You guys go quickly, the young Vulture's men are about to arrive, it should be after thirty beats." ”
Zheng Yunming exclaimed, "Aren't you here to kidnap me?" ”
"Only a fool like a vulture would come up with a way to kidnap, for me," the thin man shrugged, "the longer a rich man like you stays in the army of the Southern Dynasty, the more good it will be for the Great Khan." ”
Shi Wenhu snorted, and led Zheng Yunming to turn around and walk through the inn to the crowded street.
"It was really thrilling just now," Zheng Yunming was saying, when he saw Shi Wenhu covering his stomach and slowly squatting down with a painful expression.
"What's going on? Where did it hurt? Zheng Yunming was shocked, ignoring the defense of men and women, and reached out to help.
Shi Wenhu opened Zheng Yunming's arm with a red face and said, "It's nothing, it's my old problem that hurts my stomach when I'm nervous."
"That's it" Zheng Yunming also squatted down with him: "Stomach pain is not a big deal, my mother has a secret recipe that will work in a while, you wait." As he spoke, he stood up and squeezed into a crowd of people gathered on the side of the street.
After a while, he ran back with two hot flax cakes in his hand, and put them in Shi Wenhu's hand: "Come on, put it a little below your heart, the heat will warm your stomach and resolve all the pain." ”
Shi Wenhu gently put the flax cake under his heart, and the warm feeling spread little by little in his arms.
"It's obviously that there is something wrong with the body, but I like to come out and take care of these idle things." Zheng Yunming squatted beside him and sighed softly: "It's enough for us men to worry about major national affairs, why do you have to work so hard for a girl's family?" ”
Shi Wenhu grimaced: "National affairs, just worry about those of us who know kung fu, why do you want a white-faced little scholar to lead the troops?" ”
"Do you know the truth?" Zheng Yunming laughed: "To be honest, I really don't know what to do." In my life, I studied the Four Books and the Five Classics, and I could only deal with Mao Awl every day, and suddenly I had to manage the food, drink, shelter, and transportation of 5,000 people, and I had to teach them how to find a glimmer of life on the battlefield. Every night I wake up in a nightmare of a dead army and blood all over the ground. ”
Shi Wenhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't tried it myself, how do you know that Lu Dao can't do it?" Zhuge Liang is not also a scholar, Li Jing is not also a scholar, why can't you? ”
"Strictly speaking, Zhuge Liang is a hermit, and Li Jing is a prisoner" Zheng Yunming complained seriously: "But it's useless to say this, we will leave tomorrow, everyone is already waiting for us to go back in Huangzhou, and the recruitment will start soon." ”
(Give some encouragement to the officials, the next will be more exciting)
