Chapter 743: Step by Step Into the Abyss
"Wu Degong, the left side of your face is twitching, the right side of your face is stiff, according to the kid's research on medicine, you are sick, and you are not lightly ill, and you are about to fight, how is this good?"
Mi Fu looked at Mi Yun worriedly, this is the uncle of the clan, don't worry, that's also fake. Besides, Mi Fu feels that he is a scholar to go to the army, or in the front-line army, if there is no thigh to hold, it is likely to be in a different place. Mi Fu thought of the medical skills he learned with Su Shi, and hesitated: "Why don't I prescribe a prescription for you, it's not guaranteed, but it's better to take medicine than not to eat." ”
And Mi Yun is the thigh identified by Mi Fu.
Kiss or not, a family, marching and fighting outside, without the help of brothers, can only gnaw at the old.
Although, Mi Yun, a veteran, is also average in the eyes of Mi Fu. It seems that he has not made a sensational feat, but he is also a first-class powerful faction within the Mi family, if he doesn't rely on Mi Yun, who else can he rely on?
Mi Yun couldn't help it, and said to Mi Fu: "Yuanzhang, look at your back." ”
Mi Fu smiled and glanced back, on the left is Gao Yu, before he had time to look at the right, he immediately changed his words: "To say Gao Yu, Gao Jinxian, this is amazing." Originally, he was just a little scholar next to Mr. Su, and no one knew that he could achieve such an achievement now, as for the lackey, it was just Gao Yu's open-minded and humble personality. ”
Lackeys are not considered a good word, nor are they considered bad.
At least in the Great Song Dynasty, some people often say that they are so-and-so's lackeys. It means the determination to die, to die without repentance. Fan Zuyu once said that he was bought by Sima Guang's lackey, which is what he meant.
It is not a shame to say that Gao Yu is Su Shi's lackey.
In the face of such a grandson, Mi Yun was also helpless, and bowed down to Li Kui and said: "The last general, Mi Yun, has seen the commander." ”
"Old general, please don't be polite!" Li Kui held Mi Yun's arm, and the two of them were one behind the other, Li Kui was in front and Mi Yun was behind. Some talked and laughed and left.
Leaving Mi Fu dumbfounded, Li Kui is here, does he still use Mi Yun as a thigh?
Isn't the thickest thigh in the Great Song Dynasty military world right in front of you?
Mi Fu turned his head to look at Gao Yu with a sigh: "Jinxian, you said that I am going to hug Li Kui's thigh now, is there any hope?" ”
Gao Yu finally became a vassal and elegant, and after being promoted to the chief general of the Feilian Army, he finally had the cheekiness to write to Su Shi and ask for a word. Jin Hyun is his word.
"Yes, Yuanzhang's seniors are the juniors that the bachelor likes, and Renjie won't care even if he has a bad temper. Although Renjie doesn't like people to say that he is black, Yuanzhang's predecessors can be excluded. But ......" Gao Yu said a lot, but he didn't get to the point.
Mi Fu was hung in the air by Gao Yu's tone, and he was worried: "But what? Say it quickly! ”
"Lackeys can't speak, Wangwang!"
I have to say that Gao Yu is naughty. Mi Fu is not an outsider, speaking of Mi Fu and Su Shi's relationship, than Gao Yu even closer, also a teacher and friend, and have been friends for many years. When he was in Yangzhou, Mi Fu often came to visit Su Shi's house.
Not only is he familiar with Gao Yu, but he is also very familiar with Li Kui and Li Yun. It's normal for them to joke with each other.
It's a pity that Mi Fu has a broken mouth. Of course, Mi Fu is often after saying the wrong thing, showing a strong desire to survive. Just like now, he pulled Gao Yu and didn't let him go, and he didn't hesitate to ask in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, Jinxian, you had a stomach upset, or did I find you a good medicine, so I asked you, how am I?" ”
Gao Yu wants to cry, Mi Fu's medical skills are still learned from Su Shi, Su Shi's medical skills...... Too many to name. Mi Fu firmly believes that any disease in the world, there is no home remedy that cannot be cured. One of Mi Fu's favorite home remedies is fried barley, which is barley for boiling barley tea. He firmly believes that this is a cure-all for all diseases.
Gao Yu's illness is his own healing, and it is definitely not the medicine sent by Mi Fu that works.
Although this is the case, the friendship in this cannot be erased, Gao Yu's heart softened, and then he spoke: "Renjie can't hear anyone say black recently, his daughter is a black race, as long as he hears someone say black, he will go up." ”
"I was wronged, when did I say he was black."
"What's the blackest thing in the world?"
"The ink is black and bright, it should be the blackest in the world, right?"
Mi Fu followed Gao Yu's words, and then suddenly realized, it turned out that an ink word offended Li Kui.
However, Mi Fu is not an outsider, Li Kui is most angry, and he really won't fall into Mi Fu.
On the other side, Li Kui asked Mi Yun: "Old general, what is the purpose of the imperial court sending Uncle Yuanzhang?" Isn't he doing a good job in Cai He? Why did you suddenly follow you to the front? ”
Mi Yun didn't know what was going on in the court. At the beginning, Mi Yun was a subordinate of Zhang Yu on Dunyan Road, and he did not leave Dunyan Road after he was promoted. However, at the beginning of the planning of the Pingxia War, because Mi Yun was old, he left Yanyan Road and went to the capital to listen to the tune. He knows the reason why he came to the north, the Ninghua army is rotten from the roots, and now the war is about to break out, and he needs an old man to appease.
As for Mi Fu?
Where did Mi Yun know that Zhang Dian was ashamed to think that he might not be able to send a military general that Li Kui could recognize, so he took a Mi Fu and sent it to fill the number.
"I don't know what to do. Yuan Zhang left home when he was young, but in fact, the last general was not very familiar with him. Mi Yun said ashamedly.
Li Kui could accept this, but he didn't want to say it, so he directly crossed over and asked official business: "Is the old general here to reorganize the Ninghua army?" ”
"That's true, the last general can't figure out what he says, a good army, if he says it's broken, it will collapse." Mi Yun also has concerns about taking charge of the Ninghua Army. After all, this army may be pulled into the battlefield anytime and anywhere, but today's Ninghua Army does not have the ability to go to the battlefield at all. This aggravated Mi Yun's worries: "The last general also asked the commander to show how to rectify it." ”
Mi Yun knew that if Li Kui wanted to rectify the Ninghua Army, half a month would be enough.
On the one hand, Li Kui is a civil official, and all kinds of means can be used, but he can't, he is a military general, if the high pressure is too fierce, it will inevitably cause resistance from low-level soldiers and generals.
The second is Li Kui's fame, the words of the three armies of Yongguan are not talking, but the murderous gods who are killed. Mi Yun is old and frail, he is already a sixty-year-old man, where can he use this method?
Li Kui groaned: "The Ninghua army used the advantages of the border to trade with the Liao tribes with the goods of the Great Song Dynasty. The amount is very large, there are more than one million yuan every year, you go, don't ask the past, let alone check the accounts. ”
"The last general understands!" When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the Ninghua Army has rotted like this, and no one can be innocent.
Li Kui continued: "Although the past is not investigated, but there are those who are scattered, they must use heavy codes to shock the three armies." If you are concerned about the old and young in your family, you should not take risks. ”
"The last general will remember the commander's guidance." Mi Yun's posture was very low.
Li Kui smiled and said: "Old general, I won't keep you, if you go to the Ninghua army as soon as possible, you will be able to control the Ninghua army as soon as possible." ”
"The last general commands!" Mi Yun bowed and retreated.
Li Kui's prestige in the Western Army is very high, different from Zhang Ji's leniency, and he is good at uniting his generals. Li Kui is a prestige with a knife and a shot, and the generals of the Western Army stood in front of Li Kui and consciously bowed their heads.
Besides, in the Battle of Jinmingzhai, Li Kui also saved all the forbidden troops on Yan Yan Road in disguise. After that, he also commanded the forbidden army of Yan Yanlu for a period of time, and Mi Yun claimed that the last general had no problem at all.
In fact, even Mi Yun felt that a person like his family's grandson would not be able to do anything in the army except for mixed rice. All day long know that the dance is ink, if you can take the test to get out, the elders of the family will be more or less pleased, but Mi Fu is best at calligraphy and painting, these are not examined. So much so that now he is not confused, and he is still a petty official who is not in the stream.
Dial the transport makes it sound good, in fact, it is the small official of the wharf warehouse, before Mi Fu was still in Songshan to guard the sacrificial rooftop, and then go forward to do the county lieutenant, perennial evaluation under the ...... I'm idle all day long, either to collect wind or to visit friends.
What to do Mi Fu, in the eyes of the elders, of course, is a useless person.
I hope Li Kui looks at Su Shi's face and doesn't be too embarrassed for Mi Fu.
In the camp, Mi Fu cautiously looked at Li Kui and Gao Yu with the afterglow of his eyes.
Even at night, it's brightly lit. The scouts and intelligence are endless, and the atmosphere before the war is a little overwhelming.
I wanted to open my mouth several times, but I found that I was just a tool man, and Si Lu joined the army as an official who handled military documents. But because Mi Fu does not understand, can only do the work of transcription. What's even more annoying is that Li Kui's camp was originally the Fanzhi County Yamen, and the yamen was too small, so his book case was squeezed out of the second hall and placed under the corridor. It's a bit sad under the fence.
"Li Yun!" Mi Fu saw a general who came in from outside the camp, and looked at the face that seemed a little familiar, so he tried to scream.
"Hey, isn't this Uncle Yuanzhang?" If it weren't for Mi Fu calling Li Yun, Li Yun didn't know that the people under the cloister were old people. When Su Shi was an official in Yangzhou, Mi Fu also happened to be an official on Huainan Road. Yu Lu is pitiful, he simply does not go to the yamen to do things, and soaks in Yangzhou City all day long. Therefore, Li Yun and Mi Fu are very familiar.
Mi Fu hesitated and asked Li Yun: "Li Yun, why are you here." Is there going to be a war? ”
Mi Fu is not worried about anything else, just afraid of fighting, Li Kui pulled him to the battlefield together. Where is the material that he can go to the battlefield! But cowering in the army is a big crime, Mi Fu also understands. He wanted people to tie him up and say two good words in front of Li Kui, so that he would not worry about his life.
"Uncle Yuanzhang, why are you here?" Li Yun was puzzled, Mi Yuanzhang may be able to find a lot of presence in the Wenhui, but in the army, this is a waste! According to Li Kui's character, he will never want a person like Mi Fu to obey the account, is Mi Fu should have a character, to make contributions, and be a man again.
Li Yun comfortingly pulled Mi Fu and said happily: "Uncle Yuanzhang, you are right, you can rest assured, when the time comes, I will send someone to protect you." ”
Is Mi Fu going to wait for this?
He didn't want to go to the front line at all, so he withdrew his hand awkwardly and said in a low voice: "Li Yun, I don't know how to ride a horse." ”
"It doesn't matter, the infantry will also go to battle." Li Yun said with relief: "Don't care about anything when you fight, after the snare drum sounds, you will bury your head and rush forward." Don't look back, turn around and die quickly. ”
"Li Yun, can't you stay in the rear?" Mi Fu was so frightened that he trembled and said nervously.
"The credit for escorting grain and grass is not much, this work is still tiring, and there is nothing to do."
"I don't want credit." Mi Fu immediately said that he is not the kind of person who is greedy for power.
This is embarrassing, Li Yun can't think of an errand in the army that doesn't need credit. After all, doing things under Li Kui, especially fighting, is not easy for anyone. Tong Guan, the eunuch, was also forced by Li Kui to be on the front line. Mi Fu? It is estimated that Li Kui will not give him preferential treatment.
Li Yun glanced at Mi Fu regretfully, and hesitated: "Why don't I help you ask?" ”
"Okay, be sure to ask!" Mi Fu pleaded expectantly.
Li Yun is the chief cavalry general, and his military camp cannot be placed in the already small Fanzhi County, but outside the county seat. He came to Fanzhi County because, according to his understanding of Li Kui, Li Kui estimated that he was going to send troops.
The Liao army is very strange and has fought a few small battles with the forbidden army of Zhending Mansion, which is not in line with the habits of the Liao army.
Of course, the Song army of Zhending Mansion was very difficult.
The most important thing in the Great Song Dynasty is that there are many cities and too many places to guard. It's like a porcelain shop, after being rushed into the store by a rampaging wild, the shopkeeper's heart is about to burst.
In addition, the Liao army is cavalry, and it is not a star and a half that moves faster than the Song army. Dozens of fortresses and cities around Zhending Mansion need to be garrisoned. Asking for help and insufficient troops, two have been pulled out by the Liao army one after another. If it continues, the entire Zhending Mansion may be encroached upon by the Liao. At such a time of crisis, the military report of Zhending Mansion for help may have already fallen on the emperor's dragon case.
But the imperial court could not come up with enough troops to reinforce it.
Whether reinforcements are there or not, and when they will come, are unattainable things for the generals of the northern front.
"Li Yun, you're here! Take a look at this information. Li Kui looked up at Li Yun, who looked down at the information brought by the scouts, and Zhuozhou gave people the appearance of an empty army. But not only Li Kui, but even Li Yun also saw that this was fake, and the Liao people seemed to have deliberately opened an opening to let Li Kui drill into it.
"Second brother, I thought that if I wanted to test it, I needed to at least relieve the pressure on Zhending Mansion."
Li Yun analyzed: "If we don't move, the Liao people will not use the army." However, even if the several prefectures on the northern line of the Great Song Dynasty faced the partial division of the Liao people, it was difficult to support. ”
"It's too late, I have to touch the reality of the Liao people."
Li Kui was also worried, he now had 7,000 musketeers under his command, and a small half of them had been in possession for less than a month. After the iron supervisor sent all the output to Daizhou, Li Kui formed such a musketeer. The number of artillery pieces was sufficient, three hundred.
This is the main force in Li Kui's hands, the cavalry is already a supporting role, and firearms are the protagonists.
But poorly trained musketeers, will they work?
However, Li Kui immediately figured out that these musketeers were the elite of the four armies in the Beijing camp, the most elite of the Great Song Dynasty, before entering the Praetorian Guard. Changing weapons, it's certain that you won't be used to it, but it's definitely not going to be vulnerable.
And he estimated that the Liao people hid their troops near Zhuozhou, but the number would not be too much, and if there were too many, they would be discovered.
Li Kui immediately ordered: "Li Yun, order the cavalry to cook tomorrow on the third watch and set off on the fifth watch." ”
"Order!"
Li Yun left in a hurry, looking at Mi Fu, who was about to wear it, looked at Li Yun's back in astonishment, opened his mouth and wanted to call Li Yun, but he couldn't say anything.
"Uncle Yuanzhang, are you staying in the city or following the army?"
Unexpectedly, after Li Yun left, Li Kui personally asked Mi Fu's intentions.
"This ...... Wouldn't it be nice to stay in the city? ”
Mi Fu is a little embarrassed, after all, this is not a glorious thing.
Li Kui waved his hand and said indifferently: "You can't help when you go to the army, it's all the same." ”
Their own waste, their own self-deprecation to say it, was said so by the younger generation, Mi Fu's face was a little unbearable, and he said with a strong face: "My Mi family is loyal and righteous, and the heart of courage has never been missing." ”
"Okay, I promised!"
Li Kui heard Mi Fu say this, and thought that Mi Fu wanted to follow the army, and immediately shouted: "Liang Shijie, you joined the army with Si Lu, is there a problem?" ”
"Nope."
How dare Liang Shijie have a problem, the bigwigs of the Military Command Bureau are going to the battlefield, he is a subordinate officer, where can he dare to pick and choose?
Mi Fu was dumbfounded, according to the routine of the literati, first touted, and then reversed. Li Kui gave him the opportunity to tout his family, but he didn't give him the time to react to the reversal, could he really go to the battlefield? This is too ruthless, I won't give him a chance to escape!
"Renjie, Renjie, I suddenly found that the rear is also very important......"
