Chapter 85: Heroes are helpless and amorous
As soon as the banner was raised, Meng Yishan's heart was settled, and he personally helped the old lady Yao who fell to the ground, and said bluntly: "Let the old man be wronged." "I made a gesture after that.
The old lady's face was pale, and she trembled and was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Lao Meng turned his head and persuaded Yao Qianhu and said, "Brother Yao, let Liu Li go, I will ensure your family reunion, otherwise you will ......"
Meng Yishan smiled meaningfully: "The old lady is old and injured again, and it is difficult to say what will happen if it drags on for a long time!" ”
Mo Kui lifted the Qinggang Battle, aimed it at Old Lady Yao, and shouted, "Big brother! Don't talk nonsense to him, he won't say a word! I'll send this old man to the end with a cane! ”
Yao Wenzhong was full of anger, and now he was like a fierce beast forced into a trap, tearing and grinding his minions, but he couldn't break out of the cage.
With great difficulty, he said, "Let them go!" ”
Zhang Guangyuan walked over in person, pulled Liu Li up, and raised his hand to crack! It's two slaps, and after the beating, he said: "Get out!" ”
He was also very resentful at the moment, but he wanted to see his brother and sister-in-law safe and sound.
Liu Zongbing stared at Zhang Guangyuan, suppressed his hatred, and limped back to Lao Meng's side.
Meng Yishan smiled and said to Liu Li: "Old Liu, I have been wronged. Looking at Liu Li's scars all over his body, he couldn't help but praise: "What a tough guy!" ”
Liu Liqiang smiled: "Lord Meng, brother, I ...... Alas! He sighed, he was so embarrassed right now.
The ground under his feet was shaking, the sound of horses' hooves like raindrops sounded, and thousands of horses rushed in, and the black and oppressed iron horses were magnificent. The two officers who led the team gave an order, and the whole team scattered into several circles, encircling each other, and surrounded the scene.
Seeing that Liu Li was rescued, the two commanders hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and bowed down to the chief soldier.
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, Liu Li's face regained a little blood, and he showed a little bit of the prestige of the chief soldier, and said, "Get on the horse and line up, prepare to attack!" ”
He hated the second general Yao Zhang, and escaped alive at this moment, and his first thought was to annihilate the harrier soldiers and capture the two alive to take revenge.
The two officers were submissive, not daring to disobey the general soldier, and were about to get on the horse to lead the troops to attack, but Meng Yishan stretched out his hand to stop them, Lao Meng sneered and said to Liu Li: "Lao Liu, aren't you afraid of the harrier soldiers' desperate efforts?" ”
Liu Li was immediately stunned, thinking that if the harrier soldiers fought back desperately, he would be in a dangerous situation in the midst of the chaos.
His arrogance couldn't help but weaken by three points, and he ordered inwardly: "Then surround it first, and then quickly adjust the Luoyang army to increase the troops, and you can't let go of a traitor." ”
The subordinate officers received the order and ordered the cavalry to form a circle and encircle it.
The cavalry marched forward slowly, the hooves of the war horses sounded, the soldiers raised their spears obliquely, their sabers held high, and the thousand harrier soldiers were tightly pinned in front of the general army's mansion several times inside and out.
The harrier soldiers were not afraid, and took advantage of the situation to tighten up their formation and form a defensive phalanx. The confrontation began with great bravery.
The tension in the field was tense, and the atmosphere began to be solemn. Meng Yishan laughed: "Both sides are like fighting cocks, it's quite murderous." ”
Meng Yishan took the opportunity to persuade Liu Zongbing: "I said Lao Liu, don't toss." Brothers and good people do it to the end, how about helping you persuade this group of rebels to surrender? ”
Of course, it's best not to fight, Liu Li replied: "Then there is Lord Lao Meng." ”
Meng Yishan held the family members of Yao and Zhang in his hands, and was supplemented by cavalry, and was very confident in forcing the harrier soldiers to surrender.
Lao Meng walked over and said sincerely: "General Yao, surrender!" I'll keep you safe. ”
How could Yao Wenzhong believe Meng Yishan's nonsense again, he took a deep breath and said: "Surrender, the court will not let us go, why bother to humiliate yourself!" ”
The 1,000 harrier soldiers behind him were all his subordinates for many years, and if he surrendered, Yao Wenzhong was deeply afraid that the harrier soldiers would be slaughtered.
Yao Wenzhong laughed at himself in frustration: "Yao is a coward!" The old father, wife and children were coerced and did not dare to fight to the death. Now I don't even have the courage to surrender......"
Meng Yishan solemnly persuaded: "General Yao, if you don't surrender, you will only increase the casualties!" ”
Yao Wenzhong raised the iron halberd in his hand, rubbed the blood groove on the blade, and said slowly: "If you want to surrender, it is not impossible. I only hope that the court can spare my family and subordinates, and if you have to see the crime, please kill Yao Wenzhong alone! ”
"It was I who took the lead in instigating the mutiny and kidnapping Liu Li. Nothing to do with others! ”
Lao Meng frowned and said, "I will definitely try my best to protect the harrier soldiers!" He was right, and he had the intention of preserving this formidable army.
"Huh! Guangyuan, you take your brothers to surrender! Yao Wenzhong smiled miserably, turned the iron halberd, and stabbed it into his abdomen!
"No!" Zhang Guangyuan opened his mouth in shock, and it was too late to stop him.
Whew! Lao Meng threw the broken saber sheath over. Suddenly knocked the iron halberd down, and the blow was so powerful that it shook Yao Wenzhong's body.
Zhang Guangyuan hurriedly stepped forward to support the crumbling General Yao. Although Yao Wenzhong's stabbing was interrupted by Lao Meng in time, a wound more than two feet deep had already been cut on the ventral side. The wound was wet, and the blood was flowing outward, and the intestines were almost cut.
Zhang Guangyuan shouted anxiously: "Brother Yao! Why are you? Hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the bleeding wound for Yao Wenzhong.
Yao Wenzhong's face was pale, and he said with some difficulty: "But I want to ask for relief!" Since the day my brothers were ostracized from the army and could no longer go to war, I didn't want to live. ”
Yao Wenzhong suddenly broke away from Zhang Guangyuan's support, tried to pull up his waist, and roared angrily: "Yao doesn't complain about Liu Li for excluding dissidents!" I only hate the court for chilling the soldiers! ”
The fierce action made the blood gushing from his abdominal wound, and his eyes were dizzy, and his upright body finally fell.
"General!"
The harrier soldiers ignored the enemy's flank, and those who were close had already run towards Yao Wenzhong, and if Yao Wenzhong died, these soldiers would mutiny.
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Guangyuan lowered his head deeply. His trembling hands and twitching face showed his excitement at the moment.
The general's reputation for a hundred battles was shattered, and he turned back to Heliang for thousands of miles, and the old man was extinct.
After Ma Wenming's death, no one used Yao Wenzhong, and Ma's brave and warlike pro-army was eliminated as a thorn in the Luoyang army.
If it weren't for the exclusion and cold eyes, how could the harrier soldiers besiege the General Soldier's Mansion today and capture Liu Li's move.
Yao Wenzhong wanted to exonerate the Harrier soldiers with a death, which was the only struggle he could do in desperation.
Zhang Guangyuan threw the saber in his hand and shouted like a wolf: "Lao Tzu has surrendered!" Come and save my big brother! ”
Meng Yishan couldn't care about the joy at the moment, and hurriedly shouted to Mo Kui: "Go and invite Langzhong!" ”
Yao Wenzhong fainted to death on the ground, and Zhang Guangyuan stayed by his side in great panic. Meng Yishan looked at Yao Wenzhong's injuries, but fortunately he stopped them in time and did not hurt his internal organs. It's just that the wound is too deep and the blood doesn't stop flowing.
Lao Meng took off the brocade robe on his body, tore off a large piece of cotton with strips of cloth, and pressed it on Yao Wenzhong with Zhang Guangyuan, and the blood gradually stopped.
Meng Yishan comforted Zhang Guangyuan and said, "Don't worry! Lang Zhong will come after a while, and he will definitely be able to cure General Yao. ”
He said tentatively: "Do you want the brothers to abandon their weapons and obey the placement?" ”
Zhang Guangyuan nodded silently, his eyes were waiting for Yao Wenzhong intently,
A thousand harrier soldiers surrendered, their blades were thrown on the ground, and the cavalry rushed up and divided them into teams of three people, divided them into guards, and completely became fish on the swords.
Lang Zhong came quickly, but Mo Kui broke into a nearby medical hall, beat the patient away, and directly grabbed the horse and captured him.
When Na Lang dismounted, his legs trembled. It took him half a day to recover, and he trembled to inspect Yao Wenzhong's injuries, boiled up to stop bleeding, and began to suture the wound with sheep intestines.
The bright red flesh was pierced by the white intestines, which woke Yao Wenzhong up in pain, and General Yao let Lang Zhong operate without saying a word, just gritting his teeth rattle.
The scalp of everyone present was numb. Admiration.
Lang was nervous and scared, stitched up the needle as if walking on thin ice, and it took a while to sew up the wound. He stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "This general is in good health, and if he doesn't have a fever after a night's rest, he will be fine." ”
Lao Meng rewarded Lang Zhong and sent him away. He also ordered people to dismantle two door panels in the general army's palace and use them as stretchers. Moved General Yao up.
Liu Li watched without saying a word, and he thought hatefully in his heart: "The surname Yao had better not die!" It's too cheap to die like that! ”
Liu Zongbing was thinking about revenge in his heart, Meng Yishan came over, stretched out his hand and slapped Liu Li fiercely, startling him.
"Lao Liu! The brothers will meet with the feudal platform and the Li Governor's Mansion in a while, and then report the mutiny to the prince, are you going to go over together. ”
Liu Li said with some panic: "Master Meng, I was injured by the harrier soldiers, this ...... Bad at walking. ”
It was he who withheld military salaries to cause the mutiny. Fantai is a card friend, but it's good to say that Li Chongyi is a die-hard who is dedicated to the imperial court. Now he didn't dare to go to see the prince, and he was going to delay it for two days first, and the top priority was to get rid of the crime.
Lao Liu has already calculated to sell his belongings, send them to the domain, send them to the court bosses, and the mutiny must not be caused by his interception of military salaries, it can only be the arrogance of the harrier soldiers, and the tyranny of the general soldiers.
Liu Li was also unconvinced. The military salary department has never paid enough, and his old Liu just intercepted the adults above to eat the leftovers, why did he put himself in the oil pot and almost killed him?
Meng Yishan laughed and said: "Then take care of it for a few days, and then look for you to push pai gow after raising the injured brother!" ”
Liu Li's face froze, and he said with a smile that he must be sure, and said in his heart, "Fuck Lao Tzu will gamble with you again, and he will be raised by a bitch!" ”
Meng Yishan kept the promise and released the family of Yao Zhang's second general. The harrier soldiers were escorted back to the Luoyang Army camp in groups, and even Yao Wenzhong, who was wounded, was no exception, and was carried on a stretcher to follow the army.
Lao Meng rode on a black horse and hurried to the palace.
Mo Kui killed the soldiers sent by the palace, this is the trouble of burning his eyebrows, and he has to hurry up and ask for guilt.
As for the side of the clan and the Li Governor's Mansion, it is not a matter of urgency for the time being.
In the study room in King Yi's mansion, Zhu Zhanlong sat in front of the bookcase in a yellow robe and a golden crown, listening to the beginning and end of this mutiny.
Lao Meng stood at the bottom, and even said that he was comparing paintings, and bragged about how good he was! went to the meeting single-handedly and captured the rebel leaders Yao Wenzhong and Zhang Guangyuan with his own strength.
Seeing that he was getting more and more energetic as he spoke, the prince hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and said, "Okay! I know it all. ”
Wang Ye glanced at Meng Yishan with sharp eyes, "You did a good job this time." But ......" King Yi suddenly asked, "I heard that you connived at your subordinates and killed the soldiers I sent to guard the families of the rebels?" ”
Lao Meng's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "This, there is such a thing. My subordinates were also desperate to kill these people by mistake. ”
King Yi's eyes widened, and he said, "Manslaughter!" Those are all the elites of the palace honor and guard division, and the pro-army who has been trained in this palace for many years! Let you kill eight in one go. ”
Meng Yishan's heart was broken, it was not ordinary soldiers who were killed, and the identities of those unjustly killed ghosts were really a headache.
The Honor Guard Division belongs to the army system, but the status is very special, it is an army directly controlled by the King of Fan in various places, and the palace relies on the iron guards for internal protection, and the elite soldiers of the Honor Guard Division rely on the external peace.
This is an important force in the hands of King Yi, and he let Mo Kui kill several of them at once, no wonder the prince is angry.
Lao Meng immediately pleaded: "The wives of these flirtatious rebel generals Yao Wenzhong who are soldiers have no military discipline, please check the prince." ”
King Yi's expression changed, the guard of honor was his pro-army, and it was a shame for him to do such a thing, and he said angrily at the moment: "Bastard! Although such acts are bad, they have their own judgment from the chief of the Department of Honor and Guard! Do your people have the right to kill? ”
Meng Yishan saw that the prince was angry, and it was difficult to argue anymore, so he hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty: "I am willing to ask for my own disposal!" ”
Zhu Zhanlong was noncommittal, "Well! He said, "What do you say this king should do with you?" ”
Meng Yishan replied very aggrievedly: "This time to deal with the mutiny, Lao Meng feels that he still has some merit, and the prince's merits are offset, so it is better to punish me for another year." He said in his heart: "I don't feel distressed after ten years." ”
This point was not taken to heart, and he and King Yi played tricks.
The salary of the officials was not silver taels, but white rice. It is distributed according to the stone every month, and Lao Meng only has eight stone rice a month, and it is only one hundred stone a year.
The prince knew some of his family background, turned a blind eye to Lao Meng's low profile, and said with a sneer: "You are very rich, do you still care about these things?" ”
Meng Yishan hurriedly argued: "Old Meng has gathered some silver money in his hand. But because of the big family business, there are hundreds of people to support. ”
"All these people will be paid and all will eat!" Lao Meng peeked at the prince's face, and said in a low voice: "This is also to help the prince, so many people have been gathered, if Chitose is not happy, I will let them all get out, and be a good official in the future." ”
He was sure that Zhu Zhanlong wanted to use himself to do things, and he couldn't really punish him, so he said this.
Faced with such a lazy character, Zhu Zhanlong said helplessly: "You have to be careful, those imperial histories of the Jingshi are like flies chasing blood, pondering the impeachment of people all day long, and they can't even get over if something happens to the king." ”
Zhu Zhanlong's tone softened: "This time, as long as you hand over the murderer of the honor guard, this king will not punish you." ”
The prince admitted that he had given Meng Yishan a step.
Lao Meng clenched his fists nervously after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Damn, it's hard to do this time......"
He stubbornly said: "Lord Wang, I can't hand over people." My subordinates were ordered by Lao Meng to arrest people, and if he was handed over, it would inevitably make his subordinates feel cold. ”
Zhu Zhanlong looked at Meng Yishan with a look in his eyes, and said slowly: "Is this king's words so ineffective?" ”
Meng Yishan said in his heart, "If you hand over the iron bear, then don't mix it up!" He let himself out and said: "If I work for Lao Meng, I can only end up in a different place, who will be willing to die for me in the future!" ”
Zhu Zhanlong's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "You want to win people's hearts and be affectionate." But I also want a murderer to appease the guards! Do you understand? ”
Meng Yishan argued loudly: "That can't let me betray my brother!" ”
King Yi looked at Meng Yishan with a cold gaze and said, "What if this king wants you to hand it over?" "The prince is also really angry.
"If you are dedicated to doing errands for you, you won't be able to do well!" Meng Yishan said with a blushing face.
King Yi was very angry in his heart, and his face was so gloomy that he was dripping water. He stared at Meng Yishan for a long time before he said, "What a responsibility!" ”
Lao Meng didn't dare to speak anymore, he knew that it was enough to stop, and if he wanted to threaten the prince if he said a little more, he was afraid that his head would have to move.
The prince walked around the bookcase twice, suppressed his anger and said, "That's it! You forced down the Harrier this time to avoid casualties. The credit is not small, so let's offset the credit......"
If there is no desire, Zhu Zhanlong wants to use Meng Yishan to serve him, and he has scruples in his heart. In the matter of his subordinates' murder, he was forced to make concessions for fear that this guy would hate him.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Meng Yishan was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "I am responsible for the funeral of those dead people and pay for the silver!" ”
"You have to do it as soon as possible." King Yi said in a deep voice. He is now a little upset that Lao Meng is not restrained, and he looks like he can't get rid of his tail. At the moment, he said in a stern tone, "In a while, the king will hold a banquet and invite General Wu, the chief of the Honor and Guard Division, you have to give me a gift at the banquet." ”
Meng Yishan immediately agreed, looking very deferential. I want to kill other people's subordinates, and I apologize for a toast, which is quite cost-effective.
King Yi was afraid that he didn't care, so he told Lao Meng: "General Wu Changwu is the commander of this king's army, and he is the founder of the country. Do not be despised at all times. ”
Meng Yishan said in his heart: "The descendants of the founding heroes have more eyes than Lao Tzu?" He replied: "Old Meng Zhishu replied, don't worry." ”
Zhu Zhanlongxin said that it would be good if you didn't cause trouble. He waved his hand and said, "Sit down!" ”
A stone fell to the ground at the mouth of Meng Yishan's heart, and he pretended to sit down respectfully.
King Yi ordered the maid to bring a whole plate of refreshments, a pot of fragrant tea, two white jade tea cups, and a plate of butter snacks with tea, and motioned for Meng Yishan to drink.
The color of the tea brewed is like amber, the aroma is striking, Lao Meng pretended to pick up the teacup, sniffed the tea with a lot of concern, and drank it in one gulp, like a taste: "It's better than my master's dragon group Shengxue!" ”
King Yi smiled and picked up the teacup to take a sip, and said: "This tea has a mellow taste, and it is said that the seven bubbles have a lingering fragrance. Although it is not as rare as the dragon group Shengxue, it is also the best Tieguanyin. ”
Master Meng couldn't help but praise, and immediately grabbed two pieces of dim sum with tea, stuffed them into his stomach three times and two times, wiped his mouth, and said, "Hehe, this dim sum is not bad." ”
Zhu Zhanlong smiled lightly and said, "If you think it's good, this king will give you some to take back." "In front of the prince, few people are so wanton. I have seen a lot of trembling, and Lao Meng's informal appearance makes King Yi feel that he is calm and atmospheric.
At this point, the prince admires Meng Yishan more. As long as he's not so unruly.
Immediately afterwards, King Yi ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and called the inner supervisor to deliver a decree and invite Wu Chang, the commander of the Honor and Guard Division.
