Volume 1: The Dusty North (6)
When Hu Shahu came back from the hunt, the sky was already dark, Hu Shahu ordered people to pile up the wooden blocks and light a bonfire, and everyone sat around in the firelight, although they were in the wilderness, but they also made people feel warm and comfortable.
After a while, a group of golden people will shoot the roe deer, rabbits, wild ducks and other things peeled clean, smeared with salt grains, put on the fire to smoke and roast, for a time the aroma is fragrant, appetizing people's fingers.
Although Shen Tuo was not good at drinking, under the persuasion of Hu Shahu and others, he also took the leather bag of Jin Zhenren's wine and drank it in one gulp. When I first drank it, I only felt a hot breath in my throat go down to my stomach. At first, it was difficult to resist, and when the breath was a little calmer, I only felt that the whole body was warm and sunny was very comfortable, and then put a piece of roasted brown roe meat in the mouth, and then take a sip of wine, which was really a supreme enjoyment.
"Emperor, how does it feel?"
Hu Shahu drank heavily, holding a small knife, cutting meat in large pieces, and squinting at Shen Tuo while eating large pieces.
Shen Tuo knew that he was still underestimating Nanwen's weakness, but secondly, he was also deliberately tempting, although he was not angry in his heart, he also deliberately coughed a few times to show that he couldn't bear it.
As a result, not only Hu Shahu laughed loudly, but the rest of the Jurchen generals also laughed and fell.
These days, Shen Tuo's strong and resolute spirit has made everyone uneasy and unbelievable, and in this way, the doubts that were originally in the hearts of Jin people have disappeared.
Shen Tuo waved his hand again and again, and smiled bitterly at Hu Shahu: "Such a thing is really unbearable. ”
Hu Shahu wiped the grease stains on his mouth, and said proudly: "This kind of liquor can only be drunk by the good men of our northern country, but you southerners, you can't do it." ”
Shen Tuo saw the dissatisfaction on the faces of the guards around him, so he smiled and said: "When you are drunk, you pick up the lamp and look at the sword, and you dream of blowing the horn and the battalion." Eight hundred miles of fire, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, and the battlefield was an autumn soldier. General Hu, among our southerners, there are also generals who are drunk and lying on the battlefield, fierce and fierce, and will conquer immediately! ”
This poem was originally in a high style, Shen Tuo was fragrant with wine, and the vast northern land of the four fields slowly chanted, although everyone around him was a martial artist and did not understand literature and ink, he actually understood the meaning, and he was stunned for a while.
After half a sound, he couldn't help but ask Shen Tuo: "Official, which general's words are these, so agitated and admirable!" ”
Hu Shahu also asked: "Exactly! The guy who wrote the lyrics really sounded a bit flavorful. But when we went south, didn't we see any good generals who could fight and drink? ”
Shen Tuo froze slightly, and said in his heart: "This person will not be born until more than twenty years later, where will I tell you now." ”
I had to reply: "I heard someone talk about it in the palace in Tokyo, but I don't know who it is." ”
Everyone looked regretful and said: "The person who can write such words is definitely not a person, but unfortunately he can't know his name." ”
Although I don't know the name of the lyricist, the style of this poem really makes everyone feel broken, although Shen Tuo is a military minister by his side, the Song people are slightly more literate than the Jin people, and for a time they are all broken branches into swords, while gently patting the black earth in front of them, while chanting softly, supplemented by spirits, it is really intoxicating.
When the wine was gone, everyone was tired and wanted to sleep, but they listened to Hu Shahu's instructions: "Sleep down, there is no need to send someone to watch the night." ”
Shen Tuo was uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly persuaded: "General, it's better to be careful when you're traveling." ”
Hu Shahu grinned and said: "The emperor can rest assured, I have a hundred or so people, and I will protect your safety as much as possible." Moreover, to the north here, there is Tunhe Meng'an, and to the northeast, it is Pu and Lu Meng's security place. Further southeast, is Zhaozhou and Longzhou, further east, there is the Northeast Road Recruitment Division of Linhuang Road, under the strong army of two Meng'an, there are still countless forts along the border. Over the years, the Dajin conquest has been invincible, no one in the territory is dissatisfied, and this place is our land of Longxing, many Jurchen tribes, all of them are dissatisfied, those Bohai tribes, and you Han people are generally weak, where do you dare to make trouble! The emperor just has to rest assured, so that he can sleep well, and he will have to hurry tomorrow morning. ”
Although what he said was reasonable, Shen Tuo still felt uneasy in his heart. Seeing that the Jurchens had all entered the tent, they were snoring loudly for a long time, Shen Tuo instructed Ban Kang Chengxun to the Inner Servant Province: "Send a few people, spread out from afar, don't panic if there is anything, come back to find this Hu Shahu to deal with." ”
Kang Chengxun bowed and answered, and went to order his subordinates to take shifts to be on duty at night.
Shen Tuo was also extremely tired, and when he saw that his guards were scattered around the night, he was also relieved, and when he got into the tent, although it was a wild camp, it was more reassuring to him than in those thatched cottages. In the city of the Five Kingdoms, like a prisoner, the Jurchen tribes along the way, see how he is cattle and sheep, only here, can I feel a little free.
Even so, I felt that the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, so that although my body was tired, it was difficult for my mind to relax completely, and I tossed and turned on the dry grass, and it was difficult to fall asleep.
I don't know how long I slept this time, but in the middle of the night, I vaguely heard someone walking around in a hurry outside the tent.
Shen Tuo was not asleep in the first place, but his heart was shocked at this time, but his mind quickly sobered up, and he hurriedly got up in his clothes, opened the tent door, and asked outside, "Who is it?" ”
I only heard one person reply in a Zhedong accent: "Official, minister Qian Song." ”
Shen Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was his own guard from eastern Zhejiang, so he asked again: "What are you running outside in the middle of the night?" ”
But he heard Qian Song reply: "The minister was ordered to patrol the sentry outside, but he felt that the ground shook outside, and he was afraid that there would be a cavalry, so he hurriedly came to report." Kang Yaoban had already taken people to see it, and ordered his ministers to guard in front of the official's tent. ”
Shen Tuo was startled, and hurriedly went out of the account, but saw that behind Qian Song, there was already a row of black shadows standing in the dark, and Shen Tuo took advantage of the moonlight to find that these people were all young guards temporarily recruited this time.
The Jin people did not allow Shen Tuo's guards to use weapons, but even so, as soon as there was an alarm, all the guards were still guarding in front of Shen Tuo, although they were bare-handed, they were still in order.
Such a fuss also woke up Jin Bing. Hu Shahu was naked, holding an iron spear, and hurriedly came to Shen Tuo's tent, shouting as he walked: "Do you want to die, you don't sleep in the middle of the night and run around." ”
He didn't suspect that Shen Tuo and the others had any unusual behavior, in the hinterland of this Jin country, Shen Tuo and the others didn't understand the Jurchen language, and they wanted to escape like this, unless they were blinded by lard.
Shen Tuo didn't pay attention to him, just listened attentively, and when Hu Shahu walked in front of him, Shen Tuo's face was solemn, and he only said, "General, please listen." ”
Hu Shahu didn't know what he meant, so he just turned his ear to one side, but after an instant, his face changed greatly.
He has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he has more experience than the Song people, and when he heard that something was wrong, he immediately fell down and listened to it with his ears.
Seeing Hu Shahu like this, more than 100 golden soldiers, who were still sleepy-eyed, rushed into the tent one by one, wearing clothes and armor, holding weapons in their hands, and scattered to find their war horses.
This team of Jin soldiers was not considered elite, but their reaction was so fast, they did not panic when facing the enemy, and they quickly completed the formation in the dark night, but they taught all the Song people to be shocked.
When Hu Shahu climbed up, the sound of horses' hooves became more and more obvious, mixed with some human voices.
Hu Shahu pouted and said, "Damn, a few miles away, there was such a big commotion." ”
He was not nervous at all, but ordered someone to send his armor and put it on slowly, and when Kang Chengxun and the others returned, he asked again: "Do you see it clearly?" ”
Kang Chengxun was sweating profusely and shouted: "General Hu, I'm afraid there are more than 200 cavalry!" ”
Hu Shahu said: "It's really boring to be such a little person." ”
After that, he turned over his horse and ordered: "Sons, follow me to kill the enemy." ”
His words were in Jurchen words, and although Shen Tuo and the others didn't understand it, they also knew that he was going to attack.
Kang Chengxun and the others were in a hurry and shouted: "General, the enemy is outnumbered, so it's better to hold here." ”
Hu Shahu laughed and said: "We Jurchens have more than 100 people, and if we are afraid of more than 200 enemies, it will be too embarrassing." ”
