Chapter 83: Hanyang (2)
Zhao Hu is indeed tired these days.
Commanding battles, dispatching troops, and boosting morale are all tasks that are much more tiring than charging into battle.
After getting drunk at the banquet, he fell asleep until the next day, and when he heard the explanation of his own soldiers, he knew that Yang Kai had not slept all night, and he also sent his own soldiers to invite him, and he went straight to it.
Yang Kai saw that he didn't repair his appearance when he came in, knowing what the situation was, he put down the map, smiled lightly, and asked him to sit down, without politeness, straight to the point:
"Huzi, this is calling you, is there something you want to think about, or is it more appropriate for you to do it."
"Whatever the general commands, just say it."
It's been a long time since I've heard Yang Kai call him like this, Zhao Hu's eyes showed a resolute look: "Our army will leave for Hanyang in a few days, morale is high, the general has something to worry about, why hasn't he slept all night?" ”
"Raise up righteousness, step by step shocking, throughout the ages, how many people have broken their halberds and sunk in the sand, think more than the enemy before the war, and there may be one more way to live in wartime.
It seems that our army is indeed smooth sailing now, but often the crisis is hidden behind the opportunity.
The army celebrated for three days, afraid that it would linger and forget to return, so I asked you to come, take your own soldiers, outside the South Gate Camp, a whole school field, we have a large-scale military competition. ”
This kind of activity was also held by Yang Taisui back then, and Zhao Hu was also familiar with it, but at that time, it was to elect the leaders of various departments, and most of them were fighting between individuals, and the purpose was different.
At this time, Yang Kai's relatives in Xiaogan City are only him, and this kind of thing should naturally be done by him, Zhao Hu didn't ask anything, and took the order.
When he went out to the door, he met a fragrant and sultry little girl, he saw it, and his footsteps couldn't help but pause, and he glared and asked the soldiers who brought her over:
"This is not a girl from the Qin family, how can she be here?" Zhao Hu still has some impressions when he sees her.
"Tell the general, this is Mr. Qin who asked the villain to bring over to meet the master, the villain ......"
Mr. Qin?!
After Zhao Hu got up, he came over to see Yang Kai, and before he had time to ask about what happened last night, he turned his head back and glanced at Yang Kai, who walked out of the door in order to see Zhao Hu off, signaling him to go out with confidence, and waved his hand to let her in.
Since entering the city, I have heard Zhao Hu and others say that there is no shortage of claims about his daughter about Qin Chuanzong's various shameless deeds, but it is the first time to see a real person with his own eyes.
The little girl was born with a moth eyebrow, not like the woman Yang Kai saw in the Chongwang Mansion in the past, with a high comb and green silk piled up, only a bun on the back of her head, and no gold flower jewelry.
Although it doesn't look like the grace and luxury of a rich lady, it can be easily judged that it has been carefully dressed, but the family's belongings have been plundered by the army, so they have to dress up like this.
Not very old, oblique step shaking, vertical collar placket and large-sleeved gown, plus woven gold horse face skirt, the upper body is pure and elegant, supplemented by the lower body of the woven gold horse face, the whole style is elegant and noble, does not show a depressed light figure, horizontal and vertical, dressed up quite a bit of mature charm.
When he entered the door and saw Yang Kai's look, he seemed to have expected that everyone was beautiful, blessed and blessed, and had all the etiquette, and he was not frightened, but was a little complacent, and said with a smile: "Congratulations general, even down the six cities of De'an, and the capture of the lake is just around the corner." ”
"Ling Zun asked you to come here just to congratulate General Ben?" Seeing her like this, Yang Kai became a little interested in her abnormality in his heart.
Qin Chuanzong's name was Chuanzong, and when he introduced himself, he mentioned that he should be a patriarchal generation.
But it was providence that made people, but he married six wives and concubines, and all of them were daughters, he regarded this behavior as a close relative, Qin Chuanzong was not only a greedy person who was afraid of death, but also the cunning that this businessman should have.
Yang happily put another label on him.
"Yes and no, the slave family has been ordered by his father now, and it is also voluntary."
She could see her thoughts between her eyebrows, Yang Kai couldn't help but sigh secretly, hateful people must have pitiful, and said that poor people must have hateful things, and having a father like this can only be said to be her misfortune.
"The woman who can see this general and is not afraid, you are the first, tell me what is, what is not, what is ordered by parents, and what is voluntary."
Yang Kai is not an unreasonable person, although he has no intention of being a savior, he can be regarded as a relaxation of his mind when he comes to listen to family affairs, after all, there are not many women who can speak.
"The slave is Daddy's fifth daughter, Daddy named the slave Nange, hated that the slave was not a man, and now let the slave serve the general, which is also what the slave wants, to be able to serve the general, so that the father and the general are close, and it is also the blessing of the slave's three lives."
Although the words were relaxed, his eyes were red. The oral statement is voluntary, but how can the daughter's family, following the army, serving completely irrelevant people, be voluntary?
Yang Kai was stunned when he heard this, how could this sound wrong. This is what she calls voluntary? To low is a bit of gibberish?
"That's what you mean by voluntary?"
"Does the general think that the slave only came on the orders of his father?" Qin Nange's wonderful eyes finally became nervous, and he looked at Yang Kai, wanting to see his reaction.
"Isn't it?"
Since she heard her father's arrangement, she has thought about it all the way, and she has had a thousand twists and turns. I was impatient in my heart, but when I thought about it, this was also an opportunity for her.
She even hated how she realized it so late, and she wished that she had personally sent it to the door that night, begging for this opportunity to serve. I have never felt this way in my life, whether I regret it or I am lucky, it is my own choice.
"Although the general is wise and powerful, he can also anticipate things like a god, but this time he guessed wrong."
"What's wrong?" Yang Kai was stunned when he heard this, but he never thought that he would be wrong.
"The slave family is also willing to serve the general."
Qin Nange's mustered courage also came out after sneaking a glance at Yang Kai's expression.
"Liukou attacked at night, went down to the city in a battle, the slave saw it, General Zhao's bravery, although the slave has never seen it, but according to the word of mouth of the guard, he also knows that he is a brave man.
Such a fierce general, willing to be under the management of the general, plus the general went south into the lake, but more than half a month, he captured the land of De'an Mansion like a bamboo, and occupied a place and knew that it was insufficient, which shows that he not only has courage, but also has strategy.
Today, I talked to the general for the first time, and I saw Sven polite, my father is now under the general's camp, if the slave family can serve the general, the status will only be higher than that of my father, not only to repay the grace of upbringing, but also to get rid of the hardship, but also to rely on the mountain, kill three birds with one stone, the general can think of it? ”
Yang Kai opened his mouth and stammered, unable to react for a while.
Qin Chuanzong has six wives and concubines, and the mother in front of him can be seen to have an average status, living in a family that only uses her daughter as a tool to cling to the relationship, which is indeed a hardship for her.
In the world, the saddest thing is nothing more than that the people who gave birth to you and raised you are still there, and you hope that they are always there, but they hate your existence.
Whether in his previous life or in this life, Yang Kai heard this kind of statement for the first time, and unconsciously, his true feelings were revealed, and he hesitated, and said:
"If you say that you want to stay in the city, it's just that, follow me, not only will you not get a backer, but you will still be very depressed.
In today's world, the army is in chaos, the officials and bandits are running together, the foundation of the De'an government is difficult to stabilize, the officials and troops are surrounded everywhere, and the great enemy is outside.
No matter how clever a general is, I'm afraid that there will be times when the army is defeated and lost, and it is not beautiful to follow me, and I am afraid that I will end up losing my life. ”
Qin Nan didn't say a word, listening to Yang Kai justify himself.
Yang Kai said this, after all, people's hearts grew long, and they still had compassion:
"If Miss Qin really wants to get out of the predicament, this general also has a way, De'an Mansion City, a wounded camp is being built in our army, and the main one is to accept women who have no family.
Ling Zun's side, you don't have to worry, since it is the general's arrangement, he doesn't dare to disobey. ”
"Since it is what General Ben said, he doesn't dare to resist" made her heart surge. Qin Nange seemed to see what he wanted to see, and he also heard what he wanted to hear, his eyes were red, and they became bright again, and he sighed.
Yang Kai called his own soldiers, took her down, found a place to live, rubbed his forehead by himself, stood up, and just walked to the door, only to hear the sound of footsteps, and a warm body threw himself into his arms.
He panicked, she had made up her mind, stood on tiptoe, and the two petals of Zhu Kou's red peach bloom were sent straight to Yang Kai's face, and they were dipped on his lips.
The two could clearly feel each other's breathing, and when the soldiers saw it, they immediately turned their bodies. Yang Kaihun didn't know how to resist, Qin Nange retreated first, turned around, and fled with a red face.
Yang Kai was stunned for a long time, and suddenly scolded: "Qin Chuanzong of the dog day, pay attention to hitting me." ”
......
A day passed in a blink of an eye, Yin Zuochan knew Yang Kai well, and proposed that Cao Mang send Cai Qian and Wang Biao to the south first, and on the way, he met a messenger from the north, and after listening to the military order, he immediately accelerated the march south.
Early the next morning.
Yang Kai's personal soldiers came to the Qin family's mansion to invite, and said that in order to welcome Mr. into the camp and let the people of the city celebrate with the three armies, he decided to hold a large-scale military competition:
"My general invited Mr. Qin to watch together, and by the way, let's see how Mr. is doing in the past two days."
At this time, Yang Kai took the initiative to invite him to participate in military activities, which was obviously a recognition of his own identity, but in fact, he did not take the opportunity to show his military might in front of the city's people.
After all, Xiaogan is a fulcrum into Hanyang, and there is no room for loss, not only the county seat, but also other small villages and towns must be fully controlled to ensure that everything is safe.
Ever since Yang Kai finally asked him what position he wanted that night, he had vaguely guessed that Yang Kai was wary of him.
After all, it's a first-time acquaintance, where can you trust it so easily? His daughter Yang Kai accepted it, and he told himself to be patient.
Immediately agreed.
Yin Zuochan, Wang Biao, and Cai Qian led the three of them to the city to meet Yang Kai, and then personally led the troops to the camp, selected 100 elite people, and large and small officers, and the group galloped out of the city and came to the basically completed Daxiao field.
In the school field, there were already troops divided into troops, and many soldiers were standing in the ranks, and many people came to watch the battle.
To have so many city citizens and villagers, Yang Kai specially gave an order, or came out of the city, or from the villages and towns outside the city. After all, there is no butcher's knife to the people, and there are many things.
In the middle of the school field, a high platform was erected, and the five-color flag was waved in the wind. Hu Shahu, Su Fuan, Cai Qian, Wang Biao, Zhao Hu, and Yin Zuochan sat under his banner. Seeing Qin Chuanzong, Yang Kai stepped down to greet him and took his seat.
After coming to power, he had his own soldiers serving tea and soup.
When the north wind is blowing, the barren fields are nearby, and the dry mountains are in the distance.
Officers from various departments have come to report one after another, and the teams participating in the event have been decided. In total, there are more than 1,000 new soldiers, more than 300 veteran soldiers, and more than 100 Red Tiger Army.
The foot pawns are divided into flag-shooting, horn-fighting, cavalry dancing knives, fighting guns and other groups, according to their respective strengths, hundreds of households choose their own personnel, and they can only fight with the consent of thousands of households.
The winner of each game will be given a tiger, rewarded with money and wine; Win the most 100 people, give a tiger flag, and temporarily occupy the top of the strongest 100 households in the army.
In addition, add that the work that this team should do tomorrow, such as building a camp, etc., will be replaced by the team that loses the most, and allow it to take a day off.
Three big drums sounded, and the competition began.
Some of the 100-member teams also brought small drums and shouted and beat around them to cheer for their brothers.
