Two hundred and eight mortal enemies
This general's mansion is about the most shabby of the generals of the sixteen states of Dayao, and the place in the northwest corner of Yuancheng is far inferior to the street where the officials of Jinzhou are gathered, but Song Zhiwen only brought a few silver tickets of one hundred taels with him when he came to Jinzhou to take office, thinking that it is not as prosperous as Wuhang City in Jiangzhou, and he can always save some silver taels, and he never thought that he would be dragged to a banquet by those local officials as soon as he arrived in Yuancheng. To go to the banquet, you need to have a back and forth, can he not understand this simple truth?
Therefore, after a few back and forth, Song Zhiwen asked the purse of the silver and silver to shrink by half, although the Jinzhou businessman only needs him to speak, and the large and small mansions in the city of Yuancheng are selected by him and do not want to pay a penny. However, Song Zhiwen is like a mirror about this, as long as he receives the mansion of these merchants on the same day, someone will directly bring a silver ticket to try to clear the way the next day, he is a lazy character, and he is not willing to do such a thing.
As early as the position of Bing Cao joining the army, his teacher always came to see him, and he shook his head, a good martial arts hall of Da Yao, if he doesn't read military books and doesn't practice martial arts, he likes to fiddle with some flowers and plants, where he looks like a military attaché.
Even if he sat in the high position of the Jinju general, which many people coveted, the newly appointed general was only awe-inspiring in the eyes of his staff officers and personal soldiers, and the rest of the time he was gentle or even temperamentless. For the henchmen cultivated by the former general Jinju, they were still sitting in their places, and the officials of Jinju were all suspicious, how could the military department send a good gentleman to Jinju to eat and wait for death in an eventful autumn?
However, after Song Zhiwen personally led his staff officers and soldiers to travel through the twenty-six cities of Jinzhou, people who are not blind can see that although the newly appointed Jinzhou general has a strange temperament, he is not a mediocre person who is brought in the yamen of the mansion all day long, and the warlocks of the Jinzhou state army have been summoned and scattered to various places in Jinzhou to draw maps, so as to replace the shoddy and criticized old maps drawn by Dayao when he founded the country, and the newly enlisted states and counties are still divided into four battalions, east, west, north and south.
Among them, most of the North Battalion of the Jinju State Army are newly recruited soldiers, and the two major battalions in the east and west are mixed with old soldiers, and only the South Battalion has not suffered much damage in the battle in the beginning of spring, and the establishment is still completely preserved, and most of the personnel are old soldiers, so it turned over and became the strongest battalion among the four major battalions of the Jinju State Army.
"If you put it in the greenhouse all day long, you still can't survive this winter?" Song Zhiwen stood in the flower garden dressed as an authentic flower farmer, took off his shoes and socks and wore straw sandals barefoot, leaned down to look at the flowers on the ground that had lost their lustre, and the greenhouse he built at a great cost still failed to let these delicate flowers that were already hardy in the south of Dayao live longer.
He remembered that when he was still in Jiangzhou as a soldier Cao and joined the army, although the official quality was not as high as today's Jinzhou general, he had much more money at hand, there was no war in Jiangzhou, and his leisure time for joining the army was much more than that of those officials in the yamen who were busy dealing with a bunch of trivial things all day long, and there was also a time for flowers and grass.
Selecting seeds, plowing the ground, sowing seeds, watering, fertilizing, pruning branches and leaves, really getting started, only to know that everything is sloppy, to consult and round a famous flower farmer in the city, but forgot to change out of the official uniform, as a result, the family saw and thought that the family had committed something, kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged him to spare his life, and only half-believed it after explaining for a long time, but he did not dare to teach this Dayao military attache to serve the work of flowers and plants. Helpless, Song Zhiwen had to change his clothes and order to find someone's house, and when he was not on duty, he helped the flower farmer to do some work of carrying water and hoeing to prune flower branches, and then went back to plant flowers It was twice the result with half the effort.
In that flower farmer's family, Song Zhiwen was clumsy at first and did not suffer from the old man's chestnuts, but the old man's ability in this way was not stingy with Song Zhiwen's teaching, Song Zhiwen has been in Jiangzhou for six years, these six years gave him an illusion, as if he was going to die of old age with these flowers and plants around him and the bad-tempered flower farmers in this bright city.
Maybe his teacher really didn't want this proud protégé to be buried in Wuhang City, or he was too old as a military boss and wanted to have more of his protégé power in Dayao before stepping down from this position, so the hot potato of General Jinzhou was taken over by him, a protégé who has always been indisputable in everything.
After learning the news, Song Zhiwen still had time to wait for the flowers in his flower garden to bloom before going on the road, and then the land would change to a new owner, probably a person who likes flowers and plants.
So he went away and planted another seed in the garden, and when it replanted the next spring, he would not see it again.
When the old flower farmer heard the news that he was going to the north, he sent a bag of flower seeds, saying that it was the most cold-tolerant seed in Jiangzhou, and after planting it in Jinju, some of them might be able to smell the fragrance of flowers in winter.
"Since you know that I am Da Yao's military attaché, why are you not afraid at all?"
"People who like flowers and plants, how bad can they be?"
Under the eaves, the two looked at the flowerbed in full bloom, and the graceful deer leeks swayed in the breeze like beautiful women's dancing sleeves.
Song Zhiwen misses that one a little.
He planted the deer leek seeds selected by the old flower farmers in Jinju, but he no longer had the luxury of those days in Wuhang.
"General?"
There was a sound of inquiry outside the flower garden, he patted the dirt on his hands and got up, and saw that two people next to his personal staff officers were dumbfounded, and chuckled, "Don't you allow this general to do some idle things in his spare time? ”
If this is seen by those scholars in the city, the enemy still has the leisure to play with flowers and plants, and it is a crime that can be attacked in the article.
Although Wei Changpan and Liu Ziyi said that they had seen Song Zhiwen in a green robe and walking in the camp, today's dress still opened their eyes, and the dignified Jinzhou general deigned to be a flower farmer?
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Song Zhiwen nodded to the two, and then packed up the farm tools in the flower garden, walked out of the flower bed from a piece of dead branches and leaves, took off the straw sandals on his feet and scraped off the soil on the ridge heads, "Wait to change your clothes and go into the house to talk." ”
"Don't talk about you, even those of us who are staff officers can't believe it at first sight. Zhang Ziwen picked up a pair of scissors from the ground, and said with a smile with Wei Changpan, "The general often tells us that if the position of General Jinzhou can't sit down, it's not bad to go back to Wuhang City in Jiangzhou to live as a flower farmer." ”
"Is this really what General Song said?" Wei Changpan scratched his head, "Shouldn't the general be determined to open up territory for the imperial court?"
"Maybe our generals are different. ”
Zhang Ziwen shrugged, it was not a good thing to talk about the general behind his back, so he stopped talking, otherwise maybe this young man who was too curious would ask what words he would say, and after a while, he seemed to remember something, "Remember to go to the general before you go to the shower, and then change the tattered body on your body." ”
The two of them stinked as if they were rolling in a pigsty, and the sergeants who boiled water in the stove room boiled three buckets of hot water for the two of them in the bathing pavilion were not enough, and the turbid water that was poured out at the beginning was dark, and there were still oil flowers and some stains floating on it, and the two of them soaked comfortably in the huge wooden barrel, and they could rub off the old mud on their back and thighs with their hands.
As a staff officer, Zhang Ziwen didn't forget to ask a medical officer for the two of them to wait for the bath to finish, and the medical officer poked the bulging yellow blisters on the insteps of Liu Ziyi and Wei Changpan with his fingers, and suddenly the turbid pus flowed out.
"Such frostbite should have rested in the house a long time ago. The medical officer frowned and fiddled with the purple and black toes of the two, "That is, the two of you are sturdy, and if you change others, these toes have already frozen down I don't know how many times, but whether you can save them is still a matter of two words." ”
Before leaving, the medical officer left a box of ointment and wrote a medicine list, saying that he had taken the medicine according to the order and boiled his feet to see what would happen in three days.
"But the ugly words are ahead, you two have been sleeping outside for such a long time, it is inevitable that the cold poison will invade the body, and now you are still alive and vigorous, maybe you will suffer when you are old. The medical officer carefully explained the matter to the two of them and shook his head, "They are still young, why do you spare your life so much?"
"Somebody has to do something, don't you? Thank you, doctor. Wei Changpan and Liu Ziyi straightened their clothes and saluted them.
"It can be seen that you all deserve to die on the battlefield, but you should take care of yourself, after all, there will be a long time ahead. ”
The doctor shook his head and left, and Wei Changpan and Liu Ziyi glanced at each other.
"Brother Wei, that Yu is expensive...."The latter weighed the box of ointment and said in a low voice, "Actually, he just wants to survive." ”
"But he lowered the barbarian, I Liu Ziyi can bear it, and in turn harm his own people, even if I Liu Ziyi can spare him, how can Mei Xiucai in the underground spare him, this is a mortal enemy. ”
Death and enmity are resolved, and no matter what kind of punishment is imposed in the law of Dayao, it seems that it is not sufficient.
In the steaming mist, Liu Ziyi seemed to have made up his mind, "After the war this winter, I, Liu Ziyi, will pull a few rangers who have made friends in Jinzhou to the north, and even if it is the end of the world, I will pick up his head surnamed Yu, but if I can't wait for that time, maybe he will send his head over by himself." ”
Wei Changpan had no reason to oppose this proposal, if Yu Gaogao was now in the city of Heyuan, neither the government nor General Song's people would let him go, and Liu Ziyi was even more eager to eat his flesh.
Right and wrong are already very clear, Yu Gaoao is what Qianfu is referring to, Wei Changpan has no reason to let him live, just thinking of this man sobbing and talking about his relatives in the middle of the night, and his heart is cramping.
