Chapter 36: Gongsun Shuzi (1)
Huan Ke was stunned for a moment, and this sentence blurted out, and his courage also increased, I raised my eyes with a smile and looked into his eyes, and the words were clear: "My heart is in the dragon jade mirror." ”
Huan Ke's eyes suddenly rose with all kinds of brilliance, and the whole person was full of energy, and with uncertain temptation, his voice trembled lightly: "Wait, thrush man...... I ......"
The king of Pingzhou, who has always been decided, has such a moment. I was even more ashamed and twisted by his reflection, my face was blushing, and I hung my head to turn away, but I was caught in his arms. "I thought it was only that once." Huan Ke tightened his arms as he spoke, "Fate is not thin for Huan Ke." ”
"For me, this is not the greatest luxury in my life. …… Clear. I raised my hand to caress his back, but Huan Ke separated himself because of this title, and his eyes were shining.
"You don't like the name, at least here I can hear that it is rightfully yours." I said softly, he understood, smiled and relieved, and suddenly said: "I haven't asked before, do you have small print?" ”
"Originally, I didn't, but last night I had an idea, and I was a vassal to the prince," I raised my eyebrows and looked forward to it, "'Tianming brushes the scriptures, a white sandalwood ash'." The little woman's name is 'Fu Tan', how about it? ”
"I will never forget the fragrance of my lips and teeth." Huan Ke really made a careful appearance, and I suddenly welcomed him into his arms, only to feel that my soul has never been so complete. The so-called emotions in the world, but the white porcelain plum soup in midsummer, the sound of broken ice hitting the wall, is as good as that.
When I appeared in front of everyone again, Huan Ke and I held hands, but this time I listened to the sound of kindness, and there was no more apprehension in my heart. Because if you say the identity of Emperor Lianghong, it may be easy to be right and wrong, Huan Ke and I decided to omit this weight after discussing it, inform the four of Zhufeng in advance, and pass the family background a little perfunctory, and tell everyone that my name is Meng Futan - "Meng" is my mother's surname - such an identity test is barely passed. In the afternoon, the army set off, I rode Yi drunk, Huan Ke smiled and listened to me name the horse he rode "Fang Xiu", and the army of 10,000 people set out on the march towards Dingshan.
This trip is thousands of miles away, often see the creation of the Zhong Shenxiu, the magnificent scenery of yin and yang cutting the dawn, the common chest of stratus clouds, the majestic vastness of the birds, and a group of bloody soldiers, more often will be the top of the Ling, a glance at the pride of the mountains. In the past, I went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, how could I have had such a comfortable time. After such a calm march for several days, the Hu Ru soldiers, who had always been waiting for the battle, could not help but relax their spirits, and even had the feeling of enjoying the mountains and rivers. Huan Ke and I were always at the forefront of the army, and at first we were completely ignorant of the change in the atmosphere in the army. It wasn't until one day that Huan Ke summoned the sentry, and it took about a stick of incense to see the man running with vague steps, and the closer he got closer, the stronger the smell of wine became. Huan Ke was furious, and wanted to reprimand but was stopped by me: "This is a long way to go, and Wei Ye has no action, and he looks like he is safe, so it is inevitable that they will slack off." ”
"Peaceful? Don't you hear the reason that soldiers don't get tired of deceit?! Still depressed, Huan Ke hated that iron could not become steel and walked in front of the sentry: "Wei Ye is old and cunning, and now he is pretending to do nothing and whitewash the peace, just to paralyze our army, so as to take advantage of the gap to conquer!" Such an obvious plan, I only keep it in mind when I wait for the melon to be ripe, but I look down on you and wait! ”
"If you punish him at this moment," Seeing that Zhu Feng and the others were all ashamed, and the kneeling sentry also looked annoyed, I said softly to Huan Ke, "The people who have learned the lesson and remembered this principle are limited to this room. Small punishment and big admonition, this kind of psychology is not owned by him alone, it is better to be open and honest, so as to discipline the soldiers. ”
As soon as the sentry entered the general's tent, he did not come out for a long time, and the news spread throughout the army in a short time, and the soldiers could guess a thing or two for the reason, so they were a little panicked. This Japan should have set off at an early stage, and everyone was ready to assemble, but they saw the sentry who had gone to see Huan Ke earlier, holding a thin brittle piece of paper standing on the high slope, and Huan Ke and I stood aside.
Looking at each other, I don't know why, the sentry in the silence of the soldiers cleared his throat, looked at me hesitantly, and said word by word to the neat notes on the paper: "The so-called favor and humiliation, and the safety is in danger." "Zuo Chuan" cloud, 'Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared, be prepared, dare to follow this rule'. "Yuefu Poetry Collection" cloud, 'be prepared for danger in times of peace, discipline is not lost'. ”
Silent as snow, solemn as frost. Everyone gradually understood Huan Ke and my intentions, and they were engrossed, and they didn't dare to be distracted. The sentry squeezed the paper in his hand tighter and continued: ""Song De Fu" cloud, 'Xinjiang is gradually calm and you can't go, think of danger and fear disaster in times of peace'......"
When he finally finished reading all the books, the sentry looked at him at a loss, and waited for Huan Ke to give another order. Silent, Huan Ke looked at the mountains in the west, his eyes were calm. With a low sigh, I stepped forward to take the warning and motioned for the sentry to stand down. When he hesitated to join the team, Huan Kefang looked at all the soldiers who looked up, word by word, and made a loud noise.
The words read by this brother just now were written by the princess herself. It may not be exhaustive, but you should know the meaning. ”
Silently surprised, the soldiers looked away, and I said slowly: "A leaf blinds the eyes, and I don't see Taishan; Two earplug beans, do not smell thunder. You are in the barracks, and you have experienced a hundred battles, so you naturally know the harm of underestimating the enemy. Ten cold and one storm, died halfway. Wei Ye did not spend a single soldier, and expected that our army relied on the brave name of General Yang Kan who took the lead, and the beautiful scenery and grand events all the way from Sang to Dingshan would not be the same as before. In this way, without waiting for our soldiers to be tired, they will first slack off. Wei Ye waited for this opportunity, took advantage of the enemy's safety, and attacked him in one fell swoop. ”
His complexion changed from surprise to shock, and he was easily melancholy. Although no one moved, they shook their heads and feet. I breathed comfortably, comforting and understanding, but I couldn't say anything: "It's human nature to be unable to catch it." But there are some things that have no room for change, and they must be remembered. Sentinel, who is in danger of delaying military information by drinking alcohol and neglecting alcohol during his duty hours, shall be punished with ......"
Raise the thin paper, and let it flutter in the autumn wind," read this letter every day in front of the soldiers, until it was like a stream of memorization. If there is a person in the army who is not familiar with the contents, he will ask them, and he will not be spared! ”
Before everyone could react, Huan Ke finally spoke leisurely: "What the military advisor said is very appropriate. ”
Immediately, knowing what Huan Ke was pointing to, Zhu Feng Huaiyan and the others leaned over first, knelt on one knee and clenched their fists: "Subordinates take orders!" The rest of the people were suddenly, and for a while, the field was full of blades and weapons colliding with cold voices: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”
From this day onwards, the army waited for the day, and when they defeated a group of sneak attack stragglers three days later, it was from Dingshan Mountain. Since Wei Ye was distracted and designed to deal with the army led by Huan Ke, Xingzhou was afraid that the overall situation had been decided, and it would be difficult to turn the tide with Yang Kan's strength alone. Huan Ke gave the order to march quickly, bypassing Dingshan and going to Xingzhou to investigate the situation first, but unexpectedly Wei Ye found his traces, and the two armies were close to each other, each with casualties. After the battle, he arrived in Xingzhou in a bit of embarrassment, but learned that the reinforcements led by Yang Kan were intercepted by Wei Ye as early as halfway, and the reinforcements were defeated, and Yang Kan was beheaded as the commander to show the public, and the 10,000 troops led by him were all wiped out.
The sky is snowing in the evening, and the wind is whimpering, and the night is gloomy, and I am afraid that it will be cold again tonight.
"Wei Ye is known for his bravery, the elite soldiers of his department, and the matter of General Yang Kan, I am afraid that our army is already feared." Zhao Houyou, the city guard of Xingzhou, twisted his eyebrows: "Although there are a lot of people in Xingzhou, most of them are ordinary people, old and weak, women and children, and they can be used as soldiers...... But five thousand. ”
"Coupled with the number of 10,000 at my rate, it is still twice as bad as Wei Ye." Huan Ke stared at the map, took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Houyou: "I got the summons yesterday, General Guo Chuan is still Raolu, even if he is fast, it will take half a month to arrive." But Xingzhou will not be able to hold out then. ”
"Lord Zhao." Zhao Houyou was at a loss, his face was haggard, he must have been unstoppable for days, I couldn't bear it, but I had to say: "Just on the road, I saw that most of the people were yellow and thin. Food and grass are already insufficient, and now there are 10,000 more soldiers, and they are even more strained. I fear that if this continues, the people will complain. ”
"Although Xingzhou is located in the plain, the land is barren, and firewood, rice, oil and salt have always been transported from Dingshan." Zhao Houyou sighed: "The next official will go to appease the people in a while." As a last resort, they have to hunt for wild vegetables or venture out of the city. ”
After he left, I was worried and said to myself: "General Yang Kan is actually ...... The regent really has good eyesight, and Wei Ye is so brave. Raising my eyes to look at Huan Ke, I sighed sadly: "But I'm only afraid, before we leave Xingzhou City, the civilians and the army will start to fight among themselves." There are more people and less porridge, and the people should come first, but the soldiers can't fight hungry either. In winter, Japan does not have enough food and rice, and even if you can dig up wild vegetables, you will never be able to satisfy your hunger. The people regard food as the sky, and the top priority is not to attack Weiye, but to find ways to ensure everyone's food. ”
"Not bad." Huan Ke said in a deep voice: "General Yang Kan was still in the same camp with Wei Ye in the army back then, and Wei Ye was so ruthless and disregarded the friendship of the year. But the matter of food and grass is imminent, but it is really tricky......"
When Zhengjue had nothing to do, he ran over in a hurry, panting and clasping his fists: "General, something happened...... Many people in the streets suddenly convulsed and their limbs were weak. They said...... It's because we're here ......."
"Lead the way." Glancing at me, Huan Ke was solemn. Hurried to the street, many people fell to the ground, and there were also people in the houses beside the road who had unbearable stomach pain. When healthy people saw us coming, they gathered around one after another, gossiping: "Lord! There is no food or rice in Xingzhou City, and the grass people know that the military masters are hard, and they don't dare to compete with the military masters, but the military masters can't harm us for food! If that's the case, we might as well surrender to Na Wei Ye! ”
"Let the people not panic, let us not speculate. Huan Ke prides himself on being affectionate and righteous, and his soldiers are also strict in military discipline, and he will never do such a thing that violates his conscience and is punishable by heaven and earth. Huan Ke raised his hand to stop the noise of the crowd, his expression was sincere, and the people's hearts were calm. I comforted them together: "Actually, you can figure it out if you think about it. If we really hurt people's hearts, how can only some people suffer? The rebel minister Wei Ye was unruly and murderous, and the king of Pingzhou came here to save the people of Li from the dire situation. If you harm you just for food and rice, it is easier to go back to your home, so why do you want to do this and throw yourself into the net and arouse suspicion? ”
The opposition in the crowd gradually subsided, and Huan Ke and I glanced at each other to ask for details, but a man at the front suddenly fell to the ground, trembling all over. Huan Ke stretched out his arms to protect me behind him, ignoring his subconscious movements, I leaned over and looked at several people in a short period of time.
The resentment that had just been quelled resurfaced, and something was thrown from nowhere and smashed directly at my feet: "What a good person!" You don't leave because you want to protect your reputation, you don't know how to return to the court, where is it really good for us! Left and right are also dead, I have followed the rules all my life, it is better to fight with you dog officials! ”
The shouting old man blurted out almost a hundred responses, and even though he was quickly held down by the soldiers, the rest of the people became more and more indignant and excited. Frowning at the crowd waving and screaming, I shook my head at Huan Ke to show that it was okay, and leaned over to pick up the object - it was actually a ginkgo shell!
Breaking the hard shell in half and putting it on the tip of my nose to sniff lightly, I knew it, but I didn't know whether to be angry or sad, so I had to shout loudly, trying my best to suppress the commotion: "Even if you are boiling against the sky, it is useless!" If you don't listen to what I say, it won't be long before everyone will be like that! ”
