Chapter 48: Kill the monkey and show it to the chicken
"Your name is Cao Di, isn't it?"
The man nodded stunned, and arched his hand very wittily: "My lord, what do you command?" ”
That's right, I don't know what shit luck this guy had, and he narrowly escaped danger both times. But come to think of it, I was teased in their barracks the other day. Today I have great power, and he can only bow his head and be humble. It's hard to think about.
"Your Majesty, this person can help you win big battles in the future, and he is a rare general."
Zhuang Gong raised his eyebrows, probably thinking in his heart, whether this was a test I deliberately gave him. So he said: "Childe recommends, 10,000 people can rest assured." It's just that the widow wants to test him so that he can get a position. ”
Cao Di knelt down on one knee: "Please ask the king to make a question!" ”
"Good. If two armies face each other, our side will be weak and the enemy will be strong. At this time, the enemy is beating drums and insulting in front of our formation, so if you are our general, how will you respond? ”
Cao Di thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I will definitely stick to the camp and not rush to attack." It will not be until the enemy has failed to return after several drumming attacks that I will give the order to attack the whole army! ”
"Why?"
"One blow of strength, then decline, more and exhaustion. He did his best to make money, so he restrained it. ”
"Good!" Zhuang Gong couldn't help but applaud and said, "The widow has another question." Or is the enemy strong and I am weak, and we are still fighting with the enemy somewhere, how can we ensure victory? ”
Cao Di thought for a while, and then replied: "Your Majesty, then set off in advance, use cavalry to go around behind enemy lines to interfere with the baggage, and the infantry and other troops set up an ambush in the place where the battle was made!" In this way, the front and back can be guaranteed to be foolproof. It's just that this kind of play can be used two or three times, and if you use it more, the enemy will not be able to be on guard. ”
Yo, I can't see it, Cao Di is really as powerful as his name suggests.
"Good!" Zhuang Gong applauded again. This time, he didn't ask any more questions, but said directly: "Cao Di obeys orders!" ”
"The last general!"
"Today, the widow named you a general and commanded the three armies, what do you think?"
Cao Di's face was overjoyed, and he bowed to Zhuang Gong, and said: "Even if the last general goes to the soup and fire, he will definitely not disgrace the king's mission!" After speaking, he turned around, bowed to me and said, "The last general also thanks Gongzi for his promotion and acquaintance!" ”
Yes, it's full of the favorability of a famous historical general.
I patted him on the shoulder: "I'm just passing by in a hurry, there's nothing to thank." You have to thank the king, and you will always be loyal to him alone, you know? ”
Cao Di nodded heavily and bowed to Zhuang Gong again.
"Childe, just now the widow still has concerns about delegating power and you. But now that you've found a general for the widow in the blink of an eye, the widow can finally rest assured. The widow will go to rest first, and tomorrow morning you will also come to the main hall to go to court, and everything will be done to you! ”
After Zhuang Gong left, I said to Cao Di, "Where is your uncle Cao Mo?" ”
Cao Di sighed: "Don't mention it." Two days ago, we escorted the pill back, but unexpectedly, Madame Qi was furious and blamed us for the complete defeat of her army. The uncle was afraid of being killed, so he ran away early. Fortunately, I was only a junior officer in the army, and Mrs. Qi just belittled me to be a little guard. But unexpectedly, I was blessed by misfortune and appreciated by my son. After that, he thanked me again.
I quickly stopped him and said, "Don't! In the future, if you want to thank you, you can only thank the king. After all, his suspicions were very serious. Also, don't be idle tonight, you must get to the army that has been stationed outside the city all year round as soon as possible, and do your job well by any means. Moreover, when I go to the court tomorrow morning, you must follow with a hundred elite soldiers. This is the first test that I and the king will test you! Can it be done? ”
Cao Di's eyes lit up: "The last general will definitely be able to!" Wait for my good news tomorrow morning! ”
When I came to Bian Que, Ah Ke, and Rong'er, I had to say, "I'm sorry everyone, I'm afraid I'm going to ask you for help again these days." ”
Bian Que waved his hand: "Brother Lin is polite." Rong'er and I were originally begging for a life in Qufu, and marrying a good monarch is a good and harmless thing. ”
"However, I've been gone for a few days, and I don't know if Gao will miss leaving." Ke said worriedly.
Depend on! Still thinking about that sassy bag man, no, I must break it up!
"Ke, you can't go! In a few days, there will definitely be a large group of people who want to bite me, what if you leave and I have no one to protect me? ”
"Okay. But when you're done here, I'm going to go. ”
"Well said, well said." I curled the corners of my mouth and smiled evilly at the night.
"But what can I do?" Rong'er said with a wink.
I touched her head: "You are responsible for playing hard, eating hard, and building hard." You see this palace is so big, there are many treasures, there is a lot of food, and there is more play. ”
"Hmmm! I will eat hard, play hard, and build hard! Rong'er followed Cao Di's example and bowed her hands. It made us laugh.
After that, we all went back to the hospital and didn't mention it for the time being.
Early the next morning, the people of Qufu received an exciting good news: the young monarch was assisted by a mysterious son, defeated the heinous Lady Qi, and expelled her from the territory of Lu!
For a time, thousands of people were empty, and the people celebrated. Many wealthy people did not eat breakfast and went to buy fireworks, and began to set off fireworks all over the city during the day. For a time, Qufu was like a New Year, and it was very lively.
Mrs. Qi, Qi Wenjiang, look at how many sins you have created over the years, and the people will be excited and excited like this after you fall.
But in my eyes, it's heartbreaking! It's all white gold coins flying all over the sky. You see, in just one hour, the air quality in Qufu dropped to the lowest point ever. We who went to work in the palace early could only cover our mouths and noses and hurriedly walk.
"No, I'm going to make a new policy to ban fireworks. This thing burned the house, and it burned out the flowers and plants! ”
Bian Que covered his ears and asked loudly, "Brother Lin, what did you say?" ”
"No fireworks!"
"Fireworks? Aren't we going to the court? ”
"Yes, go to court!" I covered my ears and said.
Coming to the top of the main hall, Zhuang Gong was already sitting firmly in the middle of the chair, but he didn't look proud, but was angry and helpless. In the main hall, all the courtiers sat in shifts, and their expressions were different, some were gloating and watching a good show, some were smiling but hiding murderous intentions, and some looked resentful as if someone owed him five million. And they were chattering, and they didn't take Zhuang Gong in their eyes at all.
When Zhuang Gong saw me coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly beckoned me to come over.
So I led Bian Que, Ah Ke, and Rong'er to swagger up to the main hall, walked through the power circle of Lu State, and came to the king's side.
As soon as I stood up, someone jumped out: "Bold! A group of Diao people dared to walk into the main hall, walked to the king's side, came, dragged them out and cut them down! ”
It's a pity that I, who should be performing with you, turned a blind eye to you. I squinted, smiled, and said, "Who else has an issue with me?" ”
Immediately, four more people came out.
I whispered to Zhuang Gong, "Your Majesty, can these people be killed?" ”
Zhuang Gong was stunned for a moment, looked at the five people who jumped out in front of him, and immediately said with understanding: "The last four people can be killed." But the former one is the uncle of the widow, which is a little difficult. ”
"Uncle? That's great! At first glance, it is to rely on the old and sell the old, the stubbornness of the stubborn, this killing monkey to the chicken will have an effect! ”
Zhuang Gong thought about it, nodded, and said in a low voice: "Kill!" ”
So I turned to them and smiled and said, "In other words, you really want us to die?" ”
