Chapter 319: Meeting the envoy of the Xiliang Army
Getting up and leaving the bunk, Liu Wei walked out of the tent quickly, and as soon as he opened the curtain of the tent, he asked the two tent guards standing outside the tent, "Where are General Taishi and the others?" ”
A soldier raised his hand and pointed to the dark barracks not far ahead, and said to him: "Your Highness Qiqi, General Taishi and others are rushing here!" ”
Following the direction of the soldier's finger, Liu Wei saw more than a dozen black shadows running quickly towards the handsome tent.
The tent was located in the middle of the barracks, and if it wasn't specially placed by the sentinels, it would have been impossible for anyone to break into it directly.
Seeing the more than ten black shadows, Liu Bian's heart was also relieved, as long as Tai Shici and the others returned, they would more or less bring back some useful information.
More than a dozen black shadows were getting closer and closer, and when they came to a place very close to Liu Bian, Liu Bian finally saw that it was Tai Shici who was running in the front.
"Your Highness!" When he arrived in front of Liu Wei, Tai Shici clasped his fists with both hands and said to him: "The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has already figured out the number and defense of the Xiliang army!" ”
"Great!" Liu Wei originally just expected Tai Shi Ci and the others to roughly find out the number and location of the Xiliang army on the mountain, but from Tai Shi Ci's tone, he heard that the news these people had received was not as little as he expected.
"Speak in the account!" Without waiting for Tai Shi Ci to continue, Liu Wei made a gesture of invitation to him and a group of soldiers who followed him, and stepped into the tent first.
As a general, Tai Shici could stand Liu Bian's gesture, but the more than ten soldiers who followed him looked flattered, and hurriedly hugged their fists one by one, watching Liu Bian open the curtain and enter the tent. When Tai Shici followed Liu Wei into the tent, these soldiers followed in with apprehension.
"Brothers, don't speak!" After entering the tent, Liu Wei walked quickly to the back of the low table, reached out and picked up the wine jar on the table, and with the other hand, arranged more than ten wine bowls in two rows in order, and then poured wine into each bowl before saying to Tai Shici and others: "Brothers have been investigating the enemy all night, it is really hard, this king first respects the brothers a bowl." ”
As he spoke, Liu Wei bent down and picked up a bowl of wine from the low table, held it with both hands, compared it to everyone, raised his neck, and poured the wine down.
Tai Shici and the others saw that Liu Wei had drunk the wine first, and they also stepped forward one after another, and one of them picked up a wine bowl and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
The pottery bowl is not small, and there is a lot of wine in each bowl, and everyone has a bowl, and they drink violently and urgently, and the reason why they do not get drunk is because these wines are different from the distilled wine. Most of the water wine in the bowl is undistilled, only mixed with more water, although it tastes mellow and sweet, but the alcohol content is relatively low. Therefore, drinking five or six bowls for one person is not a lot.
After everyone drank the wine and put the wine bowls back on the low table, Liu Biancai asked Tai Shi Ci: "General Tai Shi, what is the enemy situation that you are waiting for tonight?" ”
"Back to Your Highness!" Liu Wei asked about the enemy's situation, and Tai Shici then hugged his fists and said to him: "On Taihua Mountain, the number of Xiliang troops is not very large, and the general has carefully counted them, but there are only five or six hundred people. ”
Having said this, Tai Shici changed the conversation again and said to Liu Wei: "However, the five or six hundred Xiliang troops are guarding the most dangerous part of the mountain road, where there are cliffs on both sides, and people walking on the road may fall to the bottom of the cliff and break their bones if they are not careful. The Xiliang army is full of boulders on the mountain road, under each boulder, there are wooden sticks to pry, once our army marches along the mountain road, they don't need to move too much, as long as the boulder is pried down, although our army has 30,000 elite soldiers, it is difficult to cross the Taihua Mountain! ”
"What a vicious intention!" After listening to Tai Shi Ci's report, Liu Wei furrowed his brows, first sighed, and then asked Tai Shi Ci: "Can you find a way to break the enemy?" ”
"You don't need much strategy!" As soon as Liu Wei asked if there was a way to break the enemy, Tai Shici said to him: "Your Highness only needs to give a certain fifty elite soldiers at night, and a certain soldier will not be damaged, and seize the Taihua Mountain key road for His Highness!" ”
"Fifty is too little!" Liu Wei waved his hand and said to Tai Shici: "The general is brave, this king knows, but this matter is critical, in the evening, the general will lead a hundred elite soldiers, touch Taihua Mountain overnight, and annihilate all the Xiliang troops on the mountain, and my army will go up the mountain!" ”
"No!" Tai Shi Ci responded with a fist clenched, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness waited for the last general and others all night, it was really hard, and the last general and others would no longer bother and retire first!" ”
"General Taishi, slow down!" Tai Shi Ci and the others retreated, and were about to leave, Liu Wei hurriedly stopped them and said to Tai Shi Ci: "This king ordered people to prepare more than ten jars of good wine, and the brothers who followed General Tai Shi to go up the mountain to investigate the enemy's situation each brought an altar and returned to the tent to drink!" ”
As he spoke, Liu Wei picked up two wine jars from the low table and handed them to Tai Shici.
Taking over the wine jar from Liu Wei's hand, Tai Shici thanked him again, and then said to the soldiers who followed him: "After receiving the wine, I will wait for it to go back, don't delay His Highness to rest!" ”
Everyone responded, stepped forward one after another, and everyone picked up a jar of wine from the ground, and then thanked Liu again and came out of the handsome account.
After getting the information about the Xiliang Army on Taihua Mountain, Liu Wei, who was finally relieved, slept beautifully, until the sun climbed up the three poles, and then lazily came out of the handsome tent.
As soon as he came out of the tent, a tent guard soldier clenched his fists and bowed down to him and said, "Your Highness Qiqi, the military division has come here, saying that he wants to invite His Highness to meet the envoy of the Xiliang Army. When the visitor learned that His Highness was still asleep, he didn't ask me to wake up His Highness, but just said a word to go back and report to the military advisor, and there was no reply. ”
"Oh!" Liu Wei nodded, and from the words of the tent guard, he could tell that in Pang Tong's opinion, the matter of meeting that General Dong was not very important, otherwise Pang Tong would definitely ask the person he sent to wake him up when he learned that he was still sleeping.
"You go and ask the military advisor when you will meet the envoy of the Xiliang Army!" Standing outside the tent, Liu Wei stretched his waist lazily, and then gave an order to a tent guard soldier on the side.
The soldier answered, and ran quickly in the direction of the tent of the Pang camp.
Standing outside the tent, Liu Wei silently looked at a group of officers and soldiers who were training in the open space in the distance, and waited for a while before the soldiers he sent to find Pang Tong turned back.
"Your Highness Qiqi, the military advisor is talking to him in the envoy's tent of the Xiliang Army at this moment." When he arrived in front of Liu Wei, the soldier clenched his fists and bowed down to him and said, "The military master asked the villain to pass the word, saying that this is the envoy of the Xiliang army to come to meet His Highness." ”
"Help the king clean up the handsome account, and the king will meet the envoy of the Xiliang Army later!" With his hands on his mouth and a yawn, Liu Wei gave an order to the two soldiers outside the tent, then covered his face with both hands and rubbed it vigorously a few times.
When marching and fighting, the most difficult thing to carry is clear water. Although the soldiers said that everyone carried a water bladder with them, the water in the water bladder was only enough for cooking and drinking, and it was impossible for them to be used to wash their faces.
Unless the place where they are stationed is very close to the water source, when they usually go out on the expedition and get up early, all the soldiers, including Liu Wei, have no chance to clean their faces. The only way they cleanse their faces is to rub their faces and rub off some dirt, as Liu Wei did.
The two soldiers entered the tent, and after a while, they folded out, and one of them clenched his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, the tent has been cleaned up." ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he didn't say anything, turned around and walked back into the tent. Stretching out his hand to lift the curtain of the tent and standing in front of the tent door, he turned his head and said to the two soldiers: "When the military advisor and the envoy of Xiliang arrive, first communicate to the king." ”
"No!" The two soldiers received Liu Wei's order, and they all bowed down with their fists in response, and watched Liu Wei enter the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, he sat down behind the low table, poured a cup of tea, and before he could bring the tea cup to his lips, a soldier guarding outside the tent shouted to the tent: "Your Highness Qiqi, the military advisor and the envoy of the Xiliang army ask to meet!" ”
"Let them in!" Holding the teacup in his hand, Liu Wei first gave an order to the outside of the tent, and then took a sip of tea and put the teacup on the table.
As soon as the teacup fell on the low table, the curtain was lifted by a soldier, Pang Tong walked into the tent first, bowed to Liu Wei with a fist, and said to him: "Your Highness, General Dong Xian, the envoy of the Xiliang Army, asks to see you!" ”
"Let him in!" When he returned to Pang Tong's words, Liu Bian's tone was indifferent, and he didn't use the word "please", but just said something very casually to let him in.
Pang Tong was not as lazy as Liu Bian, and after Liu Bian's order, he turned around, made a gesture of invitation to the outside of the tent, and said to Dong Xian, who was waiting outside: "Your Highness, please General Dong to come in and see you!" ”
When Liu Wei spoke, Dong Xianzheng, whose face was covered with bruises and swelling than the day before, stood side by side outside the tent with Guan Hai, who accompanied Pang Tong, and he listened to Liu Bian's words gently.
Although Pang Tong used the word "please" when he conveyed Liu Wei's words, Dong Xian did not hear the slightest respect from Liu Wei's words just now.
Gang Tou was beaten by Guan Qing violently the day before, and he knew that he was not allowed sex in the Luoyang Army camp. Although he was very dissatisfied with the tone of Liu Fang's speech, Dong Xian still thanked him and entered the tent.
When Dong Xian entered the account, Guan Hai, who had been following him with the hilt of his sword, also strode into Liu Wei's handsome account.
"The last general, Dong Xian, meet the king of Luoyang!" After entering the tent, Dong Xian clenched his fists and bowed to Liu Wei.
Holding a teacup in his hand, I don't know when, on the low table in front of Liu Bian, there was an extra roll of bamboo slips.
While holding the tea cup to his mouth and sucking the tea, he stretched out his hand to flatten the bamboo slips a little, and didn't take his eyes off the book, but just raised the hand that had just flattened the bamboo slips, pressed his hand towards Dong Xianxu, and said to him: "General Dong doesn't have to be polite, sit down!" ”
Although he invited Dong Xian to sit down, Liu Wei's eyes never looked at him, but he just glanced at the bamboo slips on the table very intently.
"Strategist!" As soon as Dong Xian was about to sit down on a cushion in the tent, Liu Wei pointed to the bamboo slips and said to Pang Tong, who was still standing in the tent: "This king read this letter several times in the morning, and he really found a lot of clues......
Hearing what Liu Wei said, Dong Xian, who had just bent his knees and was sitting on the cushion, stopped his movements, and looked at Liu Wei with a pair of eyes that were squeezed into a slit by his swollen cheeks.
But Liu Wei seemed to remember something at this time, stretched out his hand to roll up the bamboo slip, threw it aside very casually, looked up at Dong Xian and smiled slightly, and said to him: "I'm sorry General Dong, this king only cares about other affairs, and neglects the general, and I hope the general is not strange!" ”
