303 Set Fire!
Gongxi Chu frowned, thinking vigorously, Anping County? He had been in Anping County, but it was five or six years ago, and he was demoted from Beijing because he beat the prince of Han.
But did he save people there? He was only tossing with the woman named Hua Ronghua in Anping County, how could he have the kung fu to save people? Wait, he didn't save it, but the woman seemed to be nosy for a while. It was a woman who was sunk in a pond that was saved, and it seemed to be ...... It's called Chun Niang.
Remember when it was Hua Ronghua begging to save Chunniang's cousin, did it turn out to be him?
"Your lady's name is Chunniang, right?" Gong Xichu asked.
Zhou Tielang replied while adding some fine wood to the dead leaves of the flames: "It's rare that General Gongxi still remembers." Speaking of which, your wife first saved Chunniang, and then you saved me, the general and his wife are simply our reborn parents! ”
Gong Xichu tugged at the corners of his mouth, he was a little uncomfortable with such a thank, thinking that he hadn't thought that the woman had been grinding herself in such a nosy matter.
And I got enough benefits from her before I reluctantly said a word, I didn't think that a casual sentence at the beginning had now saved my life!
Still, "You should be considered a deserter, right?" "With more than 2,000 people, he has completely fallen into the trap of others, and even the well-trained soldiers have stained the battlefield with blood, not to mention that he is a lame cannon fodder?
Zhou Tielang didn't think to deny it, but said with a wry smile: "General Gongxi, if I die, only my son will go to the battlefield for me!" He's only three years old! Chun Niang and I have no relatives at home, what will they do if I die? ”
If it was in the past, when he encountered this kind of deserter, Gongxi Chu would definitely behead him before the army to set an example, but now his life is not only saved by others, but also because of his son, if he mentions something else, Gongxi Chu may still scoff, but when he thought he was going to die, he regretted that he couldn't grow up with his two children, so Zhou Tielang's words definitely resonated with him.
"Son, I have two." Gongxi Chu looked away, looking directly at the white clouds floating in the blue sky above his head.
"General Gongxi is really a blessing, I wonder how old the two sons are this year?" Zhou Tielang buried the sweet potato in the fire and sat there talking to his savior.
"It's more than five years old, it's a twin!" Gongxi Chu is not without pride.
Sure enough, Zhou Tielang's eyes were envious when he heard that Gongxi Chu's two children were twins, "The general and his wife are really blessed people." ”
"Those two boys are tao, they go to run crazy with the children in the village every day, picking chickens and ducks, picking melons and stealing dates, there is nothing they don't do." Gong Xichu told the story of Mo An's letter, imagining two chubby children chasing after a flock of quacking ducks, not to mention how gratifying the scene was.
Zhou Tielang said with a smile: "General, it's a good thing for children to get some money, as the old saying goes, such children are smart." Like my son, I wish he could have picked up some! At that time, Chunniang just fell into the pond when the child fell, and fell into the root of the disease, according to Lang Zhong said that she would not let her have this child, but she had to say that she must leave me a man and a woman, and she almost had two lives when she was born, and she was finally born, and the child's body was very weak, not to mention running around, almost coughing when she saw the wind, it was really heartbreaking. ”
Speaking of which, Zhou Tielang sighed again and again, and it was not easy for Gongxi Chu to answer again, and he said after a while, "Presumably you haven't met a good Langzhong, I'll find a Langzhong to show your son when I go back." ”
"Really?" Zhou Tielang was overjoyed, and knelt down to Gongxi Chu, "General Gongxi, if there is anything else, the villain can't say anything, but this is for the villain's son, and the villain will be cheeky to accept it." In the future, my life Zhou Tielang is yours, if you let me jump into the well, I will never jump into the river! ”
Gong Xichu felt numb, he didn't expect that he was just a casual remark, this person was so excited, what did he want him to jump into the well? However, if it was for his son, it would be forgivable. If you were your own, you might be like him.
There was a hint of sweetness in the rising heat, and it turned out that the buried sweet potatoes had been baked.
Zhou Tielang took out one, peeled off the black skin on the outside, and handed it to Gongxi Chu to reveal the steaming yellow flesh inside, "General, you can eat a bite first!" ”
Gong Xichu's stomach was indeed hungry, and he sat down with the arm that was not injured and took the roasted sweet potato and ate it slowly, Xu hadn't eaten for too long, maybe the sweet potato was too dry, and after eating a few bites of Gongxi Chu, he actually burped, and it was thanks to Zhou Tielang who took the bamboo tube on the side and poured most of the water before he felt better.
Before the two of them finished eating the sweet potatoes, Gong Xichu's expression changed, and he didn't care about anything else, so he directly grabbed Zhou Tielang's clothes, put strength under his feet, and reluctantly jumped onto the branch on the side, his face couldn't help but turn white, and the wound on his shoulder was cracked.
"General?" Zhou Tielang didn't know why, hugged the trunk and looked at Gong Xichu's shoulder that was soaked with blood again, and couldn't help but cry out worriedly.
"Shh Gong Xichu motioned for him to be silent, and looked down nervously.
Zhou Tielang also looked down, and suddenly he heard someone talking, and there was a chaotic footstep coming, and his face couldn't help but change, if it wasn't for General Gongxi dragging him up the tree, wouldn't he be in danger?
I saw that as the voice of the voice got closer and closer, about seven or eight people dressed in Beirong appeared under the tree.
"Look, I just said I smelled roasted sweet potatoes, isn't there any leftovers? The fire was not completely extinguished either. One of them was stomping out the remaining flames, "I don't know who lit the fire in the mountains, what if it causes a fire?" Our tents are all set up on the edge of the forest! ”
Another Beirong man picked up Zhou Tielang's saber, "It should be Beipeng's soldiers, this knife is not our Beirong's." ”
"Beipeng's army is being beaten and fled by our general Huertai, how can it be possible to come to our Beirong's territory?" The third asked, puzzled.
"It may have been injured and hidden, you see, there are still blood stains on this grass!" The man who stepped on the fire was said.
The man who picked up the saber said: "Then we can't let him live, find him and deal with him, in case he touches our tent, it won't be good." ”
The others also said yes, and searched in different directions in pairs.
Seeing that the people under the tree were gone, Zhou Tielang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with palpitations: "Thanks to General Gongxi, otherwise we are afraid that our lives will be lost." ”
Gongxi Chu looked at the pile of black firewood that had been trampled on and thought, "Is the north of this forest the place of the Beirong people?" ”
"Yes." Zhou Tielang nodded, "When there was no war before, the Beirong people didn't dare to get so close, in the past, people from the villages near Beipeng often came to this forest to pick mountain goods for hunting or something, and later the war was together, there were often Beirong cavalry rushing out of this forest to loot the village, and by the time we sent people, these people had already gone home in the forest." Slowly, the people in the village retreated to the north of the ancient city of Jin, and this forest became the territory of the Beirong people, and their residents even set up tents on the edge of the forest! ”
"Come, come down!" Gong Xichu jumped directly off the tree.
"General, general!" Zhou Tielang was startled, and just wanted to shout and remembered that the Beirong people who were searching for them were still not far away, so he hurriedly closed his voice again, and when he stumbled down from the tree, he found that Gongxi Chu had picked up all the dead branches around him.
Gongxi Chu said directly to Zhou Tielang: "Light the fire." ”
"Huh?" Zhou Tielang was stunned, those Beirong people finally left, why did General Gongxi have to light the fire, as soon as the fire is lit here, won't those Beirong people come back?
Gong Xichu looked back at him, "Don't you have a fire fold on you?" ”
"Yes, yes." Zhou Tielang took out the fire fold on his body, looked at Gongxi Chu in a daze, and stammered and asked, "General, general, if those people are burned here, they should come back." ”
"Come back, come back." Gongxi Chu picked up Zhou Tielang's saber thrown by those Beirong people from the ground just now, and instructed Zhou Tielang: "You are responsible for lighting the fire, if someone comes back, I will solve it." You didn't bring my spear, did you? ”
"No, no." Zhou Tielang swallowed nervously and spat at the foam, "General, where are you still there?" ”
Gong Xichu raised his eyes that were brewing storms, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Burn this forest to me!" ”
"Huh?"
The flames swallowed up the dead branches on the ground in an instant, and a breeze blew by, making the flames jump high and high, the wind helped the fire, the fire borrowed the power of the wind, the fire burned more and more, and the smoke drifted out of the distance.
The smoke really attracted the few people just now, and before they could find out the results, they all died under Gongxi Chu's knife.
In this way, Gongxi Chu and Zhou Tielang concocted the same method, lighting fires everywhere in different parts of this forest, but at this time, the wind rose again, and even if the Beirong people found the fire and came to put out the fire, it would be too late.
"General Gongxi, let's go too, or we won't be able to get out if the forest is all up." Zhou Tielang wiped the sweat that was baked on his forehead and persuaded.
"Let's go." After tossing for such a long time, Gongxi Chu's body was almost at the limit, and the two of them quickly ran out of the burning forest, and then ran all the way towards the garrison of the Beipeng army.
But said that the fire of Gongxi Chu happened to borrow the momentum of the southeast wind, and the fire quickly spread throughout the forest, and the Beirong people found that the forest was on fire and hurriedly sent people to rescue, but found that the fire was no longer humanly extinguishable, so they organized the Beirong people living next to the forest to evacuate.
But where is the move so fast? Before the Beirong people finished moving, the fire had already come. The poultry were frightened, ran around like crazy, and the people who pushed and shoved the road everywhere, and the Beirong tent was in a miserable situation.
Soon someone reported to the Beirong coach that Huertai was taking advantage of the absence of Yuan Shuai's main force and the whereabouts of Gongxi Chu were unknown to attack the ancient city of Jincheng at this time! Suddenly hearing a fire in the rear, Huertai couldn't help but be startled, thinking that Beipeng sent people to attack, and hurriedly dispatched people to defend, which invisibly reduced the pressure on Jin Gucheng.
By the time it was found out that it was not the Beipeng army that had attacked and Huertai wanted to attack the ancient city of Jin again, Yuan Shuai's main force had already returned.
Gong Xichu also learned afterwards that the fire that he inadvertently vented his anger had made a great contribution!
