Chapter 3: The Demonstrative Effect of Supporting the Army
"Brother Dingfang, why is this horse so brutal, killing the other party is not counted, but also whipping the corpse?"
An old man wearing a soft hat asked the bareheaded old man next to him, who only used a wooden hairpin to hold his hair in a bun.
The old man with a clear face said lightly: "This is the case when the king of horses meets a gelding, and he can't kill him quickly." ”
"What a gelding in the army."
"There is no horse king in the army! It is also not allowed to have a horse king, otherwise, it will run away with all the horses with a roar. ”
"The black horse of the overlord of Western Chu in the past, is it considered the king of horses?"
"Not counting!"
"Why?"
"Emasculated."
"Huh? If the king of horses is going to be castrated, why hasn't this horse been castrated? ”
"That's because this horse has only served briefly under Liang Jianfang's old dog, and if he had served under the old man, he would have been castrated a long time ago.
You see, this horse has a cruel temperament, and his master is still blocking others to save the good leading horse, it can only be said that the owner of this horse is not a son of man, and he spoils this jujube red horse. ”
"In that case, Lao Su, how is the battle going over there?"
The old man Su glanced at Yun Chu and Cui Xuanli, who were fighting fiercely, and said disdainfully: "Originally, it should have been equal, but now, one is in turmoil, and the other is rising, and it will be clear soon." ”
"You said that young student would win?"
"What's so strange about this, when the momentum is enough, the sheep can run away with the wolf, not to mention that this student is not a sheep, this should be a poisonous snake, or a leopard, both of which are the best hunters in the world."
As soon as the old man's words fell, Cui Xuanli shook a spear, then turned around and ran, he felt that the young man opposite was going to kill him today, this was probably a conspiracy, a trap that Prince Jinguang had specially laid for him, the envoy of Sillla.
And he has a heavy responsibility, Queen Zhende, King Wulie wants to ascend the throne, just wait for the Tang Emperor to give an order, the matter is serious, and he must not bury his life here.
Yun Chu put away his spear in disappointment and hooked his finger at the stunned Prince of Golden Light, and Prince Jinguang, who seemed to have lost his ability to think, automatically came to Yun Chu.
Yun Chu spat on the ground and said, "Can you stop bothering me in the future." ”
Prince Jinguang seemed to wake up all of a sudden, jumped and pointed at Yun Chu and said, "You beat me nine times, this is the shame of my life, I must ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he received a punch in the eye.
Yun Chu looked at the Prince of Golden Light, who was covering his eyes and squatting on the ground, and said, "Okay, your shame has added another one." ”
"Shhh
When he came back from the jujube horse, this guy made himself look like a butcher, covered in blood and dirty in the belly of the horse.
Yun Chu had already sold the price of the horse to a hundred yuan, and none of the brave servants of the country were willing to take on this job.
In a short period of time, Yun Chu raised a horse that was used to eating meat, and it had spread all over the country.
In the next "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" class, Yun Chu did not take it as usual, and the problem of throwing a rope into a well and calculating the length of the rope was not difficult for him.
Lead the jujube red horse to the pool, first use a brush to brush off the minced meat and filth stuck to it, change it to a pool of water, and then pour water on it to wash away the blood stains little by little.
One time is not enough, Yun Chu brushed the horse three times, until there is no blood flowing down.
Yun Chu was trying hard to bathe the jujube red horse, and the two old men in long robes were lying on the railing to watch Yun Chu brush the horse.
found that Yun Chu broke open the mouth of the jujube red horse and brushed its teeth, so he said strangely: "You have done this job finely." ”
Yun Chu smiled: "Horse teeth are vital to its life, how can it be unclean." ”
The white-haired old man said, "The old man just saw that your horse killed another horse and had a cruel temperament, aren't you afraid?" ”
Yun Chu looked at the white-haired old man and said: "The Duke of Yanmen County has killed countless people in his life, and the number of people he has slaughtered with his own hands is innumerable, but Zheng Gong has introduced him as a friend, isn't Zheng Gong afraid?" ”
.
Zheng Rentai, the prince of Tong'an County, said in surprise: "You actually know the old man? So, you must know this too, right? ”
Yun Chu put down the brush and said, "Yun Chu has seen General Su. ”
Su Dingfang looked at Yun Chu and said lightly: "Manchang'an One Hundred and Eight Fang City, only you Jinchangfang and the soldiers are the closest."
Since you greeted Zhao Xiaozu who returned victoriously at night and comforted the soldiers of a hundred battles, in more than two years, you have done seven long table banquets, one of which is to welcome the defeated soldiers, can you tell the old man why? ”
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Could it be that we did something wrong?" ”
Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything wrong, I just ......"
"Nothing is just, the people of Jinchangfang just insist on doing the right thing, whether it is a triumphant division or a defeated soldier going home, it is our own son, celebrating the victors and comforting the defeated, is there anything wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just ......"
"I said that there is nothing just, as long as I am Guanzhong Erlang, it is my own family, I don't ask their names and surnames, and they don't have to repay me anything, prepare some wine, food, dances, and songs for them to let them know the Guanzhong fathers and don't forget them.
After drinking, eating, watching singing and dancing, you can do whatever you have to do, at least you won't feel wronged in your heart, and you won't think that you have fought a bloody battle on the frontier in vain. ”
"When he returned victoriously, you didn't prepare a long table banquet, and you didn't prepare a song and dance."
Yun Chu checked all the teeth of the jujube red horse, but did not find that there were shredded meat inlays inside, so he closed the horse's mouth and said: "General Qibi He Li won the battle, there is a princess to marry, and there is Tiele City under Ganzhou to live in, and there is a fat pasture under Yin Mountain to raise cattle and sheep."
There is no need for us who are small people to sing and dance for it, and answer for it, because their hearts are originally happy. ”
Qi Bi He Li didn't think like this, he was drunk and cried for this, and complained to His Majesty that since he was already a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, he had no second thoughts in this life. At the beginning of the clouds, the strength of Qibi is different. ”
Yun Chu sneered and said: "The generals are high and powerful, as long as you order a certain Fang City casually and pay some money, you can make a lively celebration banquet anytime and anywhere, why do you need to come out of Jinchangfang." ”
Zheng Rentai frowned and said: "If you only hold a long table banquet in Jinchangfang, it will be fine, and you can do what you say, but unfortunately, the old man and others found out that when the army only recognized your Jinchangfang's banquet as the first, and then wanted other markets to do what Jinchangfang did, it would become a scandal to pick up people's teeth."
And the soldiers who returned triumphantly found that there was no long table banquet in Jinchangfang, and they would consider themselves inferior. ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I don't want to leave a stain on the long table banquet in Jinchangfang, think about it, are there fewer Hu people who have surrendered to my Tang Dynasty and rebelled over the years?"
General Cheng is still on the Gobi in the Western Regions, playing a game of eagle and chicken with the rebellious Ashina Helu.
Although the long table banquet in Jinchangfang was simple, not a single grain of grain was prepared for those traitors who might rebel.
The two generals, the long table banquet is from the people, and the contributions on the long table are all the hearts of the people.
A certain family heard that there was an emperor who had a golden cup handle, which was inlaid with all kinds of precious stones, and it was extraordinarily luxurious, and every time a courtier made a great contribution to the country, the emperor filled it with a golden cup of fine wine as a reward.
Later, the courtiers preferred to give up their wealth and pay for themselves in the glory of drinking the wine of the golden cup.
Later, the emperor suffered from hemorrhoids and the pain was abnormal, and it is said that someone needed to lick the hemorrhoids sincerely to relieve the pain, and there were flattering ministers who took the initiative to suck the carbuncle and lick the hemorrhoids for the emperor.
The emperor's illness was relieved, and when he had nothing to pay, he allowed the man who sucked the carbuncle and licked the hemorrhoids to drink in a golden cup.
Since then, no loyalist has been willing to drink from this golden cup.
At the moment, Yun Chu thought that the long table banquet in Jinchangfang was a golden cup of my Datang, and Yun would never allow this golden cup to be stained with dirt. ”
Su Dingfang and Zheng Rentai glanced at each other when they heard this, shook their heads relative to each other, and Su Dingfang said again: "It seems that the old man and Zheng Gong are too easy to talk to, it is better to let Liang Jianfang come and talk to you." ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The prince of Yanmen County is here, and the kid will only say that from now on, the long table banquet of Jinchangfang will be stopped, so as not to attract unwarranted guilt to the residents."
It's ridiculous to say, we are waiting to support my Datang army, and there is something wrong with it, it seems that we are really doing this extra thing. ”
Anyway, no matter how ugly the faces of the two generals were, Yun Chu led the wet jujube red horse and left the pool, letting it stand under the sun and shake its fur and shake off the water.
Zheng Rentai looked at Yun Chu standing in the sun, and the jujube red horse who was shaking his body wildly, and sighed: "I think he has a point, there are too many rebels of the Hu people over the years. ”
Su Dingfang glanced at Zheng Rentai and said, "Isn't there any betrayal among the Tang generals?" He's deceiving you and me.
Besides, what qualifications does he have, as a mere lieutenant chief, to beak my Tang general, is it really just because he has accumulated more than two years and held seven long table banquets? ”
Zheng Rentai laughed and said: "It's really like this, it's strange to say, now that the soldiers have not yet set out on the expedition, they have already begun to ponder the food on the long table banquet in Jinchangfang, it's really strange."
The old man has lived for more than 60 years, which is a strange thing that I have only seen in my life. ”
Su Dingfang looked at the blue sky and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that people's hearts can really be manipulated......
Yun Chu, who finally cleaned up the jujube red horse, now has to face the corpse of a dead horse that has been trampled and has a broken stomach.
Prince Jinguang was beaten in one eye by Yun Chu, and he couldn't see anyone, and his guards couldn't beat Yun Chu, so they left in a hurry.
As for Cui Xuanli, he ran away and disappeared, so the disposal of this dead horse fell into Yun Chu's hands.
must personally eradicate the dead horse corpse, this is the punishment given by his teacher Li Yifu in helping him solve the matter in front of the Guozi supervisor.
