Chapter 556: Brother
"Tweet ......"
The proud eagle spreads its wings and flies high, and the sharp chirping of the eagle echoes around the silent snow-capped mountains.
The golden sunlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival pours on the snow-capped mountains, and the white snow reflects a dazzling halo.
A small mouse, sneaking out of the snow, probed its brain to look at the world outside, and saw that the eagle had flown away, so it ran out happily, stood on the snow and rubbed its face with its little paws......
Suddenly, a big and hideous hand suddenly rushed out from under the snow, frightened the mouse into flying on the spot, and retracted into the hole with a puff of smoke.
It's a big, skinny hand.
There is almost no flesh under the skin, and the joints are clear.
Covered in red-black smudges.
I can't tell if it's blood.
Or dirt.
The big hand pressed against the snow, making a crisp bone sound, as if it hadn't moved for a long time.
In the next second, a black skull burst through the snow and emerged.
Long knotted hair.
Dirty faces.
Messy beard.
Only a pair of eyes, black and white, shimmered with a smart light that only living creatures have.
He looked left and right, his eyes a little confused.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
After a while, the mixed memories suddenly poured out from the depths of his mind, and he blurted out: "I am Li Gouzi......"
"No!"
As soon as the words came out, he was vetoed by himself.
The confusion in his eyes was rapidly fading, and he whispered word by word: "I am Li Zheng!"
"Quadruple Gang...... Li Zheng!"
But the clarity in his eyes didn't last long, and it was once again covered by chaos.
"Ah......h
He flapped his head and let out a desperate wail.
Rivers of blood poured out of his body......
"Boom, boom, boom. ”
The thick snow exploded, and a fierce figure rose into the sky.
......
Taiping Pass.
The general rudder hall of the Beiping League.
The mule and Zhang Meng worked side by side.
Sitting opposite them were Zhang Jingyun, the governor of the state capital, and Pu Wenxuan, the chief of staff of General Zhu Guo.
Zhang Jingyun held the tea bowl in both hands, but there was an anxious look between his eyebrows that could not be hidden: "The state capital urgently needs to use the business road of Guimeng to operate the grain and straw...... This matter cannot be delayed!"
The state government had previously negotiated with the Beiping League, but was sternly rejected by the Beiping League!
But this time, after the mule pondered for a few breaths, he nodded and said: "My family alliance leader has not returned, but I can make decisions on behalf of my family alliance leader in this matter, and I will immediately draft documents, issue branch halls, and make every effort to stabilize the smooth flow of business!"
Pu Wenxuan, the chief of staff of the General of the Zhu Kingdom, who was wearing a white-washed green robe, heard this, and hurriedly got up and said: "Our military mourning army urgently needs to recruit people in various places, please raise your hand and fully cooperate!"
The mule hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said: "In this matter, as long as your army acts in accordance with the law of Da Li, my Beiping League has no objection...... I, the Beiping League, am willing to donate 300,000 taels of silver to help your army resist the enemy!"
When Pu Wenxuan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yu Dai Ran Shuai thanks Guimeng Gaoyi!"
Seeing this, Zhang Yunjing got up and wanted to speak again.
Seeing this, the mule hurriedly got up and waved his hand and said: "Lord Zhang, don't embarrass our brothers, my family alliance leader has not returned, and it is already a transgression to make the decision to answer the two requests of the two adults, and then agree, I am afraid that the heads of the people below will not be able to be saved!"
Zhang Jingyun could only smile bitterly: "Dare to ask when the leader of the Zhang League will return? The military situation is urgent, the two of us can wait, and the soldiers who go north can't wait!"
The mule pondered for a while, and responded, "At the latest, we will be able to return to the customs by tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Two adults, as long as they do not move and the requirements of my Beiping League, you can go through the formal procedures first, send the documents to the subordinates, and prepare them first, and after the alliance leader of my family returns to the customs, I will immediately submit it to the leader of my league for approval, so as to save some time for the soldiers going north!"
Zhang Jingyun and Pu Wenxuan glanced at each other, and they both saw the wry smile in each other's eyes.
If it was just a request for materials waiting for leisure, why did they need the two civil officials to go to Taiping Pass together?
They are here for the 10,000 elite warriors of Taipingguan!
The old foundation of the Zhenbei Army was exhausted as early as the 800 miles of southward migration that year, and the little vitality accumulated in the past two years was also thrown into the flesh and blood mill of Jintianfu.
Today's Zhenbei Army, although there are still 100,000 troops, are all new pawns who can't fight hard.
And the government troops requisitioned from Yanbei Prefecture and Xiliang Prefecture were even more vulnerable.
Yanbei Prefecture and Xiliang Prefecture have been peaceful for a long time, the generals have no will to fight, and the soldiers have no soldiers.
How could such a weak army, even with 200,000 people, be able to resist the tiger and wolf cavalry of the Northern Barbarians?
Looking at the three states in the northwest of Yan, only the 10,000 warriors of the Red Flower Department of the Beiping League are well-trained, capable of fighting and daring to fight.
And the Beiping League advocates Chu, and it is a famous general in the northwest of Yan!
If Zhang Chu can be persuaded to lead the army out of the mountain, no matter whether he wins or loses this battle, he can save the lives of tens of thousands of Da Li'erlang!
But now Zhang Chu is not here.
And Minister Luo, who is in charge, is also a clever person who has a delicate heart.
For the first two days, I avoided them and did not see them.
Today, they finally blocked this guy, and this guy also promised quickly in the subsection, and before the two of them could say something important, they directly blocked their mouths!
Zhang Jingyun said stupidly: "In this way, we can only discuss it after the return of the leader of the Zhang League!"
The mule was also relieved when he heard this, and said, "My family alliance leader will return to the customs, and I will notify the two adults immediately!"
......
Zhang Mengmu sent Zhang Jingyun and Pu Wenxuan away.
Until now, his eyes were still a little confused.
It's not that I don't understand the conversation between the mule and the two.
But he didn't know what the mules had called him for!
He is just a businessman, and he will only save money for the Beiping League, and he will not know anything about the rest.
As for the major affairs of the alliance, he has never intervened...... I can't say anything.
"Could it be that you asked me to be a witness?"
Zhang Meng muttered in his heart, and said verbally: "Mule, these are not trivial matters, you can directly promise them without Chu Ye's consent, is it okay?"
The mule sighed lightly and said softly: "Chu Ye will definitely agree to these things." ”
Zhang Meng looked confused: "How do you know that Chu Ye will definitely agree?"
The mule sat back on the chair tiredly, looked up at the beam of the room with his head tilted up, and said softly: "Brother Meng, do you remember what clothes our Chu Ye likes to wear?"
Zhang Meng instinctively replied: "Isn't it a white robe?"
As soon as the words came out, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and frowned and said, "It should be blue and black clothes." ”
He is also an old man who started from the Black Tiger Hall with Zhang Chu, so he naturally knows that his eldest brother likes to wear blue and black clothes at the beginning.
As for the white robes......
It was the white robe that the eldest brother wore after the old woman's big trip, and the eldest brother kept filial piety to the old lady.
Once worn, it is three years.
In the past three years, the eldest brother has not worn any other colored clothes.
The mule asked again: "There was a time last year, when Chu Ye wore clothes of other colors, do you remember?"
Zhang Meng thought for a while and said, "It's been a while...... It was Chu Ye who led the brothers of the Red Flower Hall to the north and helped the Zhenbei Army to take back Jintian Mansion, right?"
The mule nodded slightly: "Since then." ”
"Then do you remember, when did Chu Ye start to wear white robes again?"
Zhang Meng tried hard to recall for a while, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be after the big trip of Wudashao......"
Mule: "It's after the big and young trips." ”
Zhang Meng didn't understand the meaning of the mule's question: "What clothes does Master Chu wear, and what does it have to do with these things?"
The mule sighed: "Because Wu Dashao is too young, he will not be blind to death!"
Zhang Meng's mind was a mess.
He understood every word the mule said, but when it came together, he couldn't understand anything!
That's why he doesn't like the big things in the alliance.
Every time he sat with them, he felt like he had a pig brain.
Or is it simple to do business......
Gold and silver open the way!
If gold and silver can't open the way, let the brothers in the alliance take their knives and open the way!
Gold and silver plus knives.
You can make money anywhere.
Fortunately, the mule is not in the mood to whet his fierce appetite now, and said lightly: "Before Wu Da Shao was alive, he dreamed of driving the Northern Barbarians back to the Guanwai, but the Huo family couldn't rely on it, so he wanted to do it himself." ”
"Well, he may also want to go to the Tianji Grassland, find Wu Shi, and ask them: why. ”
"It's coming, but he didn't mention it, and before he died, he still grabbed Chu Ye's hand and told him not to go back, don't go back......"
He felt that it was not easy for Chu Ye to have today, and he didn't want to let Chu Ye take risks anymore, and wanted Chu Ye to live his life in peace. ”
"Although I don't like Wu Da Shao very much, Wu Da Shao really doesn't have to say anything to our Chu Ye, a brother who came out of a mother's womb can see this to his brother. ”
"But he gave all the foundation to Chu Ye, how can Chu Ye live in peace......
"For more than a year, although Chu Ye has never said anything. ”
"But I can see it. ”
"What Wu Da Shao couldn't do, Chu Ye wanted to do it for him. ”
Wu Da Shao couldn't ask the sentence, Chu Ye also wanted to ask on his behalf. ”
"That is, our brothers are dragging Chu Ye, and he has to think about us first when he does anything, for fear that because he is alone, he will die again. ”
"If he were alone, he would have gone north a long time ago to fight the Northern Barbarians......"
"This time, it's the Northern Barbarians who want to go to war. ”
"It's impossible for Chu Ye to endure it......"
"Brother Meng, go and prepare!"
"Make all your weapons and armor forge with all your might. ”
"Let all the caravans under your command do their best to raise food and grass......
"This time, those of us who are brothers can't drag Chu Ye down anymore. ”
"He's going to fight the Northern Barbarians, so we'll hand him a knife......"
"Amazing, big guy, do it all over again!"
"Anyway, when we came out of Allair, there was nothing. ”
