Chapter 57: Wooing the Fierce General
And before Li Mao could speak, Wang Zhongsi immediately pulled out the quiver hanging on his back, and then raised his hand to shoot three in a row, so the three corresponding captives in the distance also immediately spread out on the ground, "The general is mighty, the general is mighty...... Woo woo...... "Then a thousand people shouted in unison.
"Your Highness, you can shoot a few too! They burned, looted, and did all kinds of evil on the border of our Tang Dynasty......"
"This ...... Forget about this king, I told you just now that this king is timid! "Then the general will cut them all down, what does Your Highness think?"
"Ah...... Kill them all? Li Mao saw with his own eyes at this moment that a living person was shot by Wang Zhongji as a prey, and he really understood what the cruelty of war was, although he was very sympathetic, but he also expressed his understanding, the two armies were fighting against each other, don't look at these Tubo people who are now tied up and show a pitiful appearance.
But if they are released, one day they will turn around and kill the Tang people, and they will still be so happy that they won't even blink their eyes. But then again, after all, Li Mao has traveled from the modern era, although he has been influenced by the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, it is still somewhat difficult for him to be ruthless on the battlefield like Wang Zhongsi.
"Brother Xun killed them all, it's too wasteful, hand them over to the Wang family's coal farm to take care of the work! If only they could atone for their sins! ”
"Your Royal Highness King Shou, you are benevolent and righteous, and you can settle accounts, so do as you say! But the death penalty can be avoided and the living sin cannot be escaped, and at the end of the year, people will have their tendons sharpened, and the same will be true of kneeling to work......"
"Huh...... Brother Xun is also very thoughtful, this is your territory, you have the final say, can we continue to drink and listen to music now, you see that these singers of this king are about to be frightened by you! Don't kill in front of these beauties in the future......" "Oh! ”
After Li Mao finished speaking, he raised the wine jug and poured the wine for Wang Zhonghei personally, and then turned around and called someone to call Wang Sishen. Of course, this good wine, good meat, good singing and dancing, which is also indispensable to the good tone of the Bodhisattvas. A song "Not a Hero" that Li Mao arranged without permission immediately sounded in the drum music.
On the placket, don't be good, the sunset, the sunset sent me to lead an old horse, and I was passing by the people in the smoke village, just like the hometown was flying flowers, drunk in the wind, drank tea, and found a restaurant at the mouth of the ordinary alley, everyone here is an old friend, and the bottom of the bowl is the end of the world, the end of the world, everywhere, Pengmen, and self are like a wide building
On the will regardless of how much or too little Dare to call yourself a chivalrous man when you occupy three points The knife can be caught and the fist is also played Occasionally idle to ask for life and death I don't have a hero's name Weigh an old thing to offset the price of wine Fold flowers to the south of the Yangtze River To the spring breeze and red wax Affectionate always like......
When the Bodhisattva sang affectionately, Li Mao unconsciously hummed along with a three-point drunken state. "Fold the flowers to the south of the Yangtze River, and be amorous to the spring breeze and red wax, always like I love the world......"
So the more Wang Zhongji listened to it, the more interesting he felt, so he casually asked him, "Your Highness, could it be that this tune is also from you?" The last general has long heard that Your Highness is brilliant, and this tune feels refreshing, as if it is not my Tang Dynasty......"
"Yes, this is a new work when this king came to Taiyuan Mansion, and the style of music is not composed according to the ordinary Tang style, Brother Xun can't imagine that you can also know how to write and tune a battlefield general! Didn't I hear and see it by my father's side when I was young, and I learned a lot! ”
"Huh...... Your Highness, what you said is very true, the saint is particularly good at lyrics and music, and the loyal heir has understood a little under the training of his old man, but compared to your Highness, it is far from you! ”
Just as Li Mao and Wang Zhongsi were listening to the song while raising their wine glasses and chatting freely, Wang Sishen's mount stopped outside the camp with a neigh, and then our Wang Counselor ran to Wang Zhongsi with some impatience before he even had time to tie his horse.
And Wang Zhongsi was also happy when he saw his brother coming, so he immediately got up and walked to the camp tent to greet him respectfully, but before Wang Sishen could say hello, he first stretched out his hand and pulled him to the side and muttered.
"Loyalty, didn't you go out to train with your soldiers and horses? How could His Royal Highness King Shou play in the wild together? "Brother Sishen, didn't the little brother just come back from the grass valley? It's a long story, Shicai was stopped by His Highness's guards...... "Okay, okay, don't talk about this yet, then you went out to train the border army privately, did Your Highness say anything?" ”
"Your Highness has invited the loyal heir to go to Jiannan Province to inspect the border defense!"
"Ah...... How can this make the Third Highness have already greeted a certain family, saying that he is going to transfer you back to Chang'an recently, isn't it ...... By the way, did you talk to His Royal Highness King Shou about the situation on the Tibetan border, and His Highness ...... him! ”
Wang Sishen heard Wang Zhongsi say that he would follow Li Mao to Jiannan Road to deal with Tubo, so his face immediately changed in surprise, and after he finished speaking, he shook his head again and again with a helpless expression, "You brothers, what are you whispering? Is there any secret that the king cannot hear? With Li Mao's shout, Wang Sishen had no choice but to follow Wang Zhongsi to him with a bitter face.
"Your Highness, my subordinates heard that you are going to take your loyal heir to Jiannan Dao together, this matter must not be allowed!" "Why not? My brother Xun is very brave, he should have gone to the battlefield to establish a career, and he is always nesting in this state as a driver! ”
"What? Your Highness, did you know the loyal heir before? Oh yes, he has been by the saint's side since he was a child, I think your Highness has seen it, so Your Highness, you should know more that your loyal heir has a family feud and a reckless temperament, and if you go to the battlefield at this time, it won't be ......"
"Okay, cousin, you know what you said about this king, this king will be measured, and he will never let him go to danger alone, if you are still not at ease, cousin, then follow this king to Jiannan Road, anyway, you have been a little general for a long time, and it is time to make new contributions!"
"This ...... Li Mao: Why don't you get so much oil and salt? Don't think that you are the prince, everything can be messed up by temperament, little sister, he has told a certain family to watch you......"
"Brother Si Shen, why do you call His Royal Highness King Shou by his name, this is a big crime of disrespect, and why did he let you ...... Sister Siluo Oh see, no wonder...... Okay, Brother Si Shen, the loyal heir is not the little baby who didn't know the world before, he should understand, he understands, and he won't be full of hatred, and when he gets to the battlefield, he will definitely focus on the overall situation, in addition, I think His Royal Highness is reasonable, you have been stationed in Taiyuan Mansion for several years, and there is nothing to do, where is the promotion opportunity, it is better to take advantage of this You and my brothers to join forces to create a career! ”
"You ...... You are really imposing, two teenage dolls dare to talk about any feats, even if you have a little success on the battlefield in the past, it is just a small guerrilla fight, on the real battlefield, hundreds of thousands of troops of the two armies face each other, the situation is changing, is it what you can imagine? ”
Wang Sishen said and squatted down on the carpet with his head in his hands helplessly, and Li Mao did not immediately refute when he saw it, not even angry or annoyed, and after a long while, he smiled again and poured him a full glass of spirits before he opened his mouth and whispered.
"General Wang, it's useless to talk too much now, if you really don't feel at ease, go with you, so it's good to look at Brother Loyalty! What he thinks at this time you should know better than anyone else, you can't persuade you, and the horseshoes of your five thousand war horses have been installed, don't you want to compete with the Tibetan thieves on the battlefield? This king will tell you again, the blacksmiths prepared in the morning by Jiannan Road are all good hands, not only can make horseshoes, but also put the latest armor on the horses, and this king will definitely create an invincible cavalry division, in addition, the first batch of fine steel produced by Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant will first build a steel crossbow bed and the pillbox of the cage city, these are you as a Tang soldier, and you don't want to see it with your own eyes? ”
"Your Highness, what kind of object is the horseshoe, why should Brother Sishen's five thousand men and horses be installed?" "Go and see for yourself the mount four hooves that your brother just rode and you'll understand!" As Li Mao spoke, he immediately raised his hand and pointed to the horses where Wang Sishen was staying outside the tent.
So Wang Zhongsi didn't wait for Li Mao to finish speaking, and ran over on the spot, and then he turned around the horse for less than two minutes, and the two saw him dancing and shouting and running back.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness King Shou, the more than 1,000 horsemen of a certain general should also be loaded with horseshoes like this! And I'm going to leave the ...... that went up."
"Li Mao, what do you want! You obviously know that the loyal heir is the crown prince and the third highness, why do you still force it to woo, is it true that what he said to me a few days ago! ”
Wang Sishen's eyes suddenly turned hideous and blood-red after roaring, if it weren't for the fact that there were still many guards from the Shouwang Mansion guarding there, he would definitely not hesitate to make up for it, grabbed Li Mao's throat and didn't let go.
