Chapter 120: A Gentleman Is Innocent
There were obviously a lot more soldiers and horses galloping on the main road.
When the two armies meet, there will be conflicts, or corpses will be left in the wilderness, or the soldiers and horses in the wilderness will flee in confusion, the wind in the Xuanwu Road will be loud, the city will be closed, and the originally sparsely populated villages will be even more barren.
"What kind of soldiers are they?"
"It's the guards, it's the white-robed army."
"Here they are."
The guards at the checkpoint of a fortress shouted, and when they saw the rushing soldiers and horses, they fled without a fight.
The white-robed soldiers passed unhindered, standing at the mountain pass and looking at the undulating plains ahead, a guard without a white robe stretched out his hand to point the way.
"After this mountain pass, and then through the front of the Kuoling, it is the fastest way to Xingcheng." He said, "The 8,000 soldiers and horses of the Yellow Banner are entrenched there. ”
Speaking of this, his expression hesitated, looking at the white-robed soldiers here.
There were only a thousand of these white-robed soldiers.
The green-shirted scribe walked out of the soldiers and horses, with a little indifference: "Ten thousand soldiers and horses are not to be afraid." He smiled at the white-robed soldiers, "I'll try to keep everyone from using knives and guns." ”
The white-robed soldier didn't say anything, and motioned for everyone to continue walking, and dust and smoke rose on the cold winter wilderness, until through the dust and smoke, he saw a group of soldiers and horses emerging in front of him.
The white-robed soldier will instantly rein in his horse and put on a battle formation.
In front of it is a mountain range, and in front of the mountain ridge are entrenched soldiers and horses, like a cliff.
The momentum of this group of soldiers and horses was different from that of the soldiers and horses they had encountered before, and everyone was immediately on alert.
"Before, there were no soldiers and horses here." The guards who led the way turned pale and reined in their restless horses, "Have the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Flag actually expanded here?" ”
The soldiers and horses on the opposite side have already asked: "Who are you?" ”
What to do? Say what? The guards leading the way looked at the white-robed soldiers.
"Let's say it's Cao Gui's." The green-shirted scribe whispered, "Because of my lobbying, everyone is very vigilant. ”
Speaking of the identity of the white-robed soldier, he couldn't even enter the door.
If he fights here, his talents will not be used.
The white-robed soldier glanced at his clothes: "I'll wear a white robe, and I will know at a glance that it's not here." ”
"I can tell them that it's a white robe." The green-shirted scribe said, "It's a small thing. ”
After asking there, there was no answer, and the cliff stone loosened and showed a trend of battle.
The white-robed soldier shook his head: "We don't hide our identities. After that, he urged him to step forward, "I'm waiting for the white-robed army in Huazhou, who are you waiting for?" ”
After talking about his identity, he thought about it and unfurled a flag again.
"We have military affairs to do with Mrs. Chu Guo."
The banner was unfurled, and the big red Chu characters on the black background of the winter wilderness were very conspicuous.
Seeing this flag, when the falling cliff stopped, several large flags were also unfurled behind them, and the eyes of the white-robed soldiers suddenly lit up.
One side is the big flag of the Wutou Zhenwu Army, one side is the same big flag with the Chu character unfolded in their hands, and the other is a smaller general flag with a five-character on it.
"It's the soldiers and horses of the Lady of Chu!" The green-shirted scribe shouted at a glance.
The guard who led the way saw another: "It's the five generals!" ”
The five generals are not five people, but one person, Mrs. Chu of Huainan Province rescued the garrison generals left by Han Xu in Yingchen, claiming to be five at home, and people are called the five generals.
After shouting these two sentences, both of them looked at the white-robed soldier again, and said in unison: "I'm here to help you!" ”
Xiang Nan wandered around Xuanwu Dao, in addition to himself, he also held a flag of Mrs. Chu State, and this time he collected the Xuanwu Dao Guard, saying that Xiang Nan cooperated with Mrs. Chu State, although everyone has not seen the soldiers of Huainan Road......
And now it's finally here!
The leader of the white-robed soldiers did not answer, the hands under the white-robed hands clenched the reins, and the soldiers behind him were also whispering, "Sure enough, it's here." "It's slow enough."
But only they, the lieutenants, know that the cooperation that Mrs. Chu said is just a flag, and there are no soldiers and horses.
The five generals did not come to aid them, but were stationed in Xuanwu Dao Yingchen.....
Suddenly appearing here, is it good or malicious? Is it to take credit or to stop .....
If Mrs. Chu Guo does something to them, Xuanwu Dao will definitely be even more chaotic!
"Did the five generals come in person?"
"How many of you are there?"
The guards beside him, the green-shirted scribe, were still asking.
The white-robed leader took a deep breath and urged the horse to walk towards the cliff: "We are ordered by Captain Xiang to go to Xingcheng. ”
The cliff didn't move, and I watched the men and horses come by.
"We've got it here, and we've got enough of them." The white-robed leader said, "You can stay here." ”
The cliff did not move or speak, and the white-robed leader did not speak anymore, and galloped forward, and the soldiers and horses behind him heard what he said.
Everyone had no objections and straightened their chests, that's right, they didn't need the help of the Chu army to do it.
The green-shirted scribe also bowed his hand to the soldiers and horses here: "You can wait, this matter is bloodless." ”
A group of white robes rolled away, turning into dust and smoke in the wilderness.
The cliffs on the side of the mountain were loosened.
"Shall we let them pass?" A soldier said, "Madame didn't order us to clean up Xuanwudao. ”
"But Madame gave them flags." Another soldier said, looking at the Chuzi banner behind him, "The fifth master said, seeing the flag is like seeing Mrs." ”
The previous general stopped talking, waved his hand and turned his horse's head, and a group of people disappeared into the mountains.
The news here was also immediately reported to Huainan Province.
"Yes, yes, Xiang Gongzi is sharp enough." Jiang Liang was satisfied when he heard this, "I'm still worried that he has to talk about his friendship with those generals." ”
Speaking this kind of thing is done by these Confucian scholars, and of course the generals have to rely on the sword in their hands to reason.
Li Minglou, who had been ignoring this, raised his head: "Style? demeanor is because it is not in his way, and if he is in the way, who is a gentleman? Who is the villain? ”
Jiang Liang responded solemnly: "Xiang Nan looks like a gentleman, and his means can be villainous, so he must be wary of the most, the Xiang family is in the same line, and Xiang Yun may also use a knife against Du Du." ”
Wu Ya'er's death doesn't know who moved the knife, Li Minglou thought, Jiang Liang said that he died of illness at the beginning, but he also said that it was good to die of illness, so was it death of illness or murder?
She got up and walked to the inner hall and called for someone to come and study the ink, and a little boy hurriedly followed.
Motoyoshi and the others, who were still sitting in the hall, stood up.
"Ma'am, you're going to get busy." Jiang Liang stretched his neck and hurriedly said, "I will keep an eye on the matter of Xuanwudao." ”
Yuan Ji said: "Don't pay too much attention to that side, there are middle five watching." ”
Jiang Liang twisted his beard and said: "It's true that you don't have to care, if you fail, Xuanwudao is still the same as now, if you succeed, let's go over again, and Madam doesn't even need to write a letter to him." ”
After that, he looked into the inner hall, and Li Minglou sat in front of the bookcase and wrote something.
"Has the Governor of Wudu sent a letter?" He asked casually.
Yuan Ji looked over and shook his head: "Not recently." He frowned again, "The war is chaotic, it is not easy to send letters, the world situation is changeable, when the governor of the capital is in charge, how can he be so idle and always write letters to his family, and his wife is also very busy." ”
Is this a complaint that the governor writes too many letters? Jiang Liang didn't ask if he didn't want to guess, he just nodded: "Yuan Ye is right." ”
Li Minglou was not interested in listening to Xuanwudao, so everyone withdrew and went to the government to discuss other matters with the observation envoys, surviving the rice grain of the first month, the grain planted in the spring, the collection of displaced people into residents, the assessment of officials, and the conscription of the new year.....
Officials came in and out, all kinds of documents and books were piled up, and the hall was full of discussion or argument or noise or laughter.....
Until a child ran to probe and shouted Yuanji.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Motoyoshi asked.
The boy handed over a letter: "Madame's letter to the governor." ”
Yuan Ji took it, pinched the thin letter, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Xiao Tong shook his head: "No." ”
Yuan Ji said well: "I'll arrange for someone to send it." ”
The little boy jumped away, Yuan Ji no longer discussed with everyone, called someone to arrange the delivery of the letter, Jiang Liang, who was sitting on the side, looked at Yuan Ji, although Yuan Ji Muran's face was not smiling, but his eyes were gentle, and a thin letter in his hand was solemn......
Therefore, the wartime is chaotic, it is not easy to send letters, the world situation is changeable, and the relationship between one party is eight-sided, how can there be such a thing as writing family letters so leisurely, excluding Mrs.
Jiang Liang shook his head regretfully and regretfully, Xuanwu Dao estimated that Xiang Nan would write a letter only after he succeeded.....
"What's new on Shannan Road?" He turned his head and asked Liu Fan in a low voice.
Liu Fan was thinking about something, and when he heard it, he said: "There is no new trend in Shannan Road, and there seems to be a fight caused by grain grabbing in Jiangnan Road, which is not a big deal. Do you want to see it? ”
He pulled out a spy book from front of him.
Gangnam-do? Jiang Liang rolled up his sleeves and took it: "Jiangnan Road is okay, it's not a big thing, let's take a look at the small things." ”
......
......
Jiang Liang did not wait too long for the success of Xuanwudao, at the beginning of February of the sixth year of Chengyuan, many generals came to Cao Gui's mansion, and they wore armor to fill the hall, but the momentum was not turbulent, and the young generals sitting on the stage were a little restrained.....
Xiang Nan stood up and arched his hand: "After so long, we finally meet again, this is a gratifying thing." ”
The generals in the hall raised their hands and saluted with complicated expressions, and the chaotic voices of Tongxi sounded.
The green-shirted scribe came out of it, and looked around at everyone with a smile: "The reunion of the Fengwei army is a great joy in Great Xia, and it is also a great joy for you and me, everyone should drink a cup together first." ”
A crowd of soldiers poured in and offered wine glasses to each of the generals.
Xiang Nan took the wine glass and raised it: "It's been two years, it's sad that some of our Fengwei Army can't see each other, let's have a drink with them first." ”
Yes, thinking about the two years that have been very short and long, the changes have been earth-shaking, and Xiang Nan in front of him, after all, is in the same army as them, the generals are a little more restrained, and their expressions are a little more stunned, watching Xiang Nan pour the wine on the ground, everyone also fell down, thinking silently about their deceased comrades.
The wine was poured again, and Xiang Nan said: "It's been two years, although it's not easy, but it's a pleasure for us to stand here alive and see each other, so we should have a cup together." ”
It's not easy, the three words contain swords and flesh and blood, it is a joy to be alive, everyone watched Xiang Nan drink it all, and they also drank it all.
The wine glass was filled again, and Xiang Nan raised it not to look at everyone, but to look at the green-shirted scribe.
"This cup, we salute Mr. Tingru." He said.
The green-shirted scribe was a little surprised, and smiled calmly: "Me? ”
Xiang Nan also smiled at him: "Of course it's you, if it weren't for Mr. Tingru, we wouldn't have met so soon, and there would probably not be so many people standing here to meet each other, so, you ....."
He pointed at them with his glass and smiled.
"Thank you, Mr. Tingru."
If they hadn't been persuaded by the green-shirted scribes, they would have been persuaded by Xiang Nan's swords and guns, and they really didn't know if they could stand here at that time.
Everyone looked at Mr. Tsing Yi and raised his glass: "Mr. Jingtingru." ”
Xiang Nan drank it all together with everyone, and the green-shirted scribe did not refuse, he calmly accepted the wine handed by the soldier and drank it all, and after drinking, he was about to say a few more words, Xiang Nan spoke first.
"Let's send Mr. Tingru on his way." He said.
Hit the road? What do you mean? The green-shirted scribe held the wine glass for a moment, and then his heart was cold.....
It's not that it feels cold, it's really cool.
He lowered his head and looked at the soldier who handed him the glass, holding a knife in his hand, which stabbed him in the heart.....
With a pop, the knife was drawn, and the green-shirted scribe fell to the splatter of blood.
Everything was too fast, and it was only at this time that the generals in the hall exclaimed, and retreated back in a disorderly manner, they held the knife in their waists, and looked around at their own soldiers, but it was useless, now they were in the urn.....
No soldiers and horses rushed in to surround them, Xiang Nan stood quietly in place with a wine glass, pointing to the dead green-shirted scribe on the ground.
"This son is a lobbyist, relying on a mouth to gather troops and horses, and use you and me as pawns." He said, "This person keeps saying the truth, but he is the most unreasonable, and he can turn his face and deny people." ”
Xiang Nan looked at everyone again.
"You and I don't need to live under this person's arrangement."
"I don't care what he said to you, what he promised, what he threatened, I, Xiang Nan, told you today, I and you, the so-called reunion of all of us today, are united as one."
He held out a finger.
"For the Great Xia to quell the chaos, for the Great Xia to kill the thief, only this heart, but only for this heart, as long as there is this heart, we are comrades, we don't need lobbyists, we don't need words, we just need to kill thieves, just look at the thieves! Whoever kills thieves with me, I share life and death, honor and disgrace with me! ”
He slammed his glass on the ground with a crackling sound.
There was a moment of froze in the crackling sound, and then there was a commotion in the hall, and those who were still holding the wine glasses smashed the wine glasses, and those holding the knives threw them on the ground.
The complicated expressions on the faces of the generals, such as restraint, anxiety, and shame, disappeared, and were replaced by a red-faced roar in unison.
"Life and death, honor together!"
......
