Chapter 69: The Song of the Great Wind
Seeing that Xiang Ye was unwilling to stay, Xiao He didn't say anything more, and withdrew to stand behind Liu Bang.
Liu Bang arched his hand to Xiang Ye and the others and said: "A few people don't want to stay, and it's not easy to be reluctant to stay, the banquet has been arranged, and they are invited to come in and talk while drinking the banquet." ”
Everyone entered the main hall, the guests sat down, Liu Bang picked up the wine, raised it to everyone, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, after drinking it all, he sighed, got up, pulled out the sword from his waist, bypassed the table, and danced the sword in the hall.
When he was dancing the sword, Xiao He also got up and sat down in front of the building and built it for him.
With the melody of Xiao He's construction, Liu Bang sang loudly: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown in the sea, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!" ”
When Liu Bang sang loudly, Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, this "Song of the Great Wind" should be in his memory Liu Bang passed through Pei County after receiving Yingbu, and personally built the song he sang when he had a banquet with his friends, but he didn't expect to sing it here first.
After Liu Bang finished singing "Song of the Great Wind", he put away his sword and stood upright in the hall, and the hall fell into a strange tranquility.
"Bang Bang!" A few crisp high-fives suddenly sounded in the quiet lobby, and the applause echoed in the huge lobby, which seemed very piercing, and everyone turned their eyes to the direction where the applause came from, only to see Xiang Ye smiling and applauding Liu Bang gently.
"Good song! Good song! Xiang Ye stood up, stood behind the table, bowed to Liu Bang and said: "Pei Gong's song is very domineering, and there is a faint imperial atmosphere in secret, and it will be unspeakably expensive in the future, congratulations to Pei Gong, congratulations to Pei Gong!" ”
After Xiang Ye said this, everyone in the hall, including Liu Bang, showed a look of shock, they knew very well what Liu Bang would face if this sentence reached the ears of King Huai or Jiangdong Xiang.
Everyone was stunned, Xiang Ye looked at Xiao He and smiled slightly: "Pei Gong has already danced the sword to cheer up, and he also wants to dance a song, and I want to ask Mr. to build it for me, I don't know what Mr. wants?" ”
Before Xiao He could speak, Liu Bang said: "Mr. Xiang is willing to cheer up the sword dance for us, and he will personally build it for Mr. in the next place, but I am afraid that the skills are not perfect, which will make Mr. laugh!" ”
"Pei Gong is willing to build it personally, but he can't ask for it!" Xiang Ye didn't shirk, gave Liu Bang a salute back, and walked over the table to the open space in the middle of the main hall.
Liu Bang turned around and walked to the front of the building and struck it gently.
The sound sounded, Xiang Ye pulled out the long sword, the silver sword body reflected the dazzling light, and everyone in the hall hurriedly built a shed on their foreheads with their hands, not daring to look directly at the long sword in his hand.
With a clear roar, Xiang Ye waved the long sword in his hand and danced the Xianglong Sword Technique. Xianglong swordsmanship is a very atmospheric, suitable for battlefield fighting, if it is in the eyes of the swordsman, maybe he is just a little domineering, but in the eyes of generals such as Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, etc., this set of swordsmanship is the only magic weapon to break the army and kill the generals, so when Xiang Ye danced the sword, they all opened their eyes in shock, lest they miss a little bit.
"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic characters. Therefore, to the west of the base, humanity is, Wu Yue Fan Li Hengjiang. The rocks pierced the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at one time. Thinking about the young uncle, when Xi Shi Huansha was in full swing, he was heroic. Lupine scarf, talking and laughing, Ying's ashes are gone. The old country fugue, affectionate should laugh at me, born early. Life is like a dream, and a bottle is still a river. Dancing to the extreme, Xiang Ye also sang loudly like Liu Bang, but he made some changes to Su Shi's words, and changed the later Three Kingdoms Zhou Lang to the previous generation of Wu Yue Fan Li.
Su Shi has perfected his literary attainments, although the words he made have been modified by Xiang Ye seem a bit nondescript, but they are not comparable to a market scoundrel like Liu Bang.
Xiang Ye's choice of this song "Nian Nujiao" was also deliberate, although this song is much more subtle than "Song of the Great Wind", but it does not have a strong imperial atmosphere like "Song of the Great Wind", it is graceful in pride, and the slenderness unique to literati in domineering.
After the dance, everyone in the hall couldn't help but be stunned, they were not only amazed by Xiang Ye's majestic swordsmanship, but also amazed that Xiang Ye had such a high talent for writing and was able to create such catchy words that were enough to recite through the ages.
Meng Su looked at Xiang Ye, her eyes flashed with a blurred look, she had always thought that Xiang Ye was just a real man who was very affectionate and very committed to him, but she had never found that he could chant such a wonderful sentence.
"Troubled times pierce the sky, the waves crash on the shore, and roll up thousands of piles of snow." Meng Su muttered to the mind, and the heavy snow in his mind when he and Meng Tian were in the north to conquer the Xiongnu, the Qin army chased after the Hun cavalry, and the crossbow arrows fired by the Qin crossbow flew towards the fleeing Hun cavalry, and every time a batch of crossbow arrows was shot, the Hun cavalry would fall a large piece.
What moved Meng Su the most was not only the momentum in Xiang Ye's poem, but that when he mentioned Fan Li, he didn't forget to mention Xi Shi.
Everyone knows that Fan Li and Xi Shi are bitter mandarin ducks, in order to help Gou Jian defeat the husband, Fan Li endured heartache and sent Xi Shi to Wu State.
Fan Li is a hero and a hero, but he doesn't cherish his women too much. Xiang Ye did not mention Xi Shi in Wu in this poem, but only mentioned the scene when she was in the stream Huansha, from this small detail, the slender Meng Su can feel that Xiang Ye is not a man like Fan Li, he will never give his beloved woman to other men for any benefit.
I don't know when it started, Meng Su already had an expectation in his heart, an expectation for Xiang Ye. She hoped that Xiang Ye could take her back to Xianyang, kill Hu Hai and wipe out Zhao Gao. In addition, in her heart, another expectation is sprouting, but she has always been unwilling to face this expectation, that is, to be able to become Xiang Ye's woman in the future, to be able to ride with him, and go to Baitou together.
Xiang Ye didn't know the emotions that sprouted in Meng Su's heart, he always had only one thought, that is, to entrust Meng Su to a person worthy of trust, and then leave quietly, avoid the hustle and bustle of the world, find a quiet place, and live this life quietly.
After Xiang Ye finished dancing the sword, Liu Bang bowed his head and was silent for a long time before he sighed leisurely and said: "Mr. Xiang is not only superb in swordsmanship, but also unique in the world, but unfortunately he refused to stay in the army and destroy the tyrannical Qin with me, which is really a lifelong regret!" ”
As soon as he said this, Liu Bang's subordinates in the hall all stood up and walked to Xiang Ye's side, and everyone bowed to Xiang Ye and said: "Mr. Xiang, I have been following Pei Gong for a long time, although Pei Ping's day is known to the world, but he has never been so depressed because no one is willing to punish Qin together, and I hope that Mr. Pei Gong will be sincere and stay to work with us!" ”
Xiang Ye looked at everyone with a look of embarrassment, he turned his head and looked at Liu Bang, who was sitting next to the building, and looked sadly, only to see Liu Bang hanging his head and sighing continuously.
"Okay, I'll stay!" Xiang Ye nodded, and said to everyone with some embarrassment: "Thanks to the love of Pei Gong and the people, I am very afraid, if I don't agree, I am really uneasy in my heart, and the three of us will stay in the army to serve Pei Gong, but if there is a dispatch, I will not give up!" ”
Hearing Xiang Ye say that he agreed to stay, everyone's faces suddenly showed joy, Liu Bang jumped up with joy, jumped up in front of Xiang Ye in two steps, took Xiang Ye's hand and said, "I have three today, I really have wings like a tiger." Here, I will appoint Mr. Xiang as the hussar general, Mr. Meng as the chariot general, Mr. Shi as the Wei general, and the two generals, Meng and Shi, assist General Xiang in leading the troops. ”
Although Xiang Ye studied history and knew that the hussar general seemed to be very good, he didn't know how good it was, but judging from the eyes of the surrounding civil officials and military generals, it should be Niu Zhi who was almost more powerful than all of them, because each of them was full of admiration, and there was envy and jealousy in their eyes when they looked at Xiang Ye.
After the morning banquet, Xiahou Ying personally led Xiang Ye, Meng Su, and Shi Lei to inspect the army, and on the way to the school, Xiahou Ying said to Xiang Ye with admiration: "General Xiang, Pei Gong is really confident in you, and he gave you such an important position as soon as he came." ”
"Oh?" Xiang Ye tilted his head sideways, looked at Xiahou Ying with some puzzlement and asked, "Is my position very important?" A hussar general! ”
"Huh." Xiahou Ying shook her head and smiled, and said to Xiang Ye: "General Xiang used to be a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, and he may not be very clear about the establishment of the army. The hussar general commanded thousands of troops and horses, and his position in the army was second only to the general, and now there is no general in our army, so General Xiang is already a figure in the army. ”
Xiang Ye pursed his lips and smiled, turned to look at Xiahou Ying and said, "Doctor Xiahou, now General Xiang Liang is the general of our Great Chu, is my hussar general a little unspeakable?" ”
Xiahou Ying was stunned by Xiang Ye's question, and then felt that Liu Bang's title of Xiang Ye as a hussar general was indeed a bit unreasonable, but now it is a troubled time, and Liu Bang has the title of Duke Pei, and it is nothing if no one investigates a hussar general in his army, but if someone investigates deeply, I am afraid it will cause Liu Bang a lot of trouble.
Xiang Ye saw that Xiahou Ying didn't reply for a long time, he smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "The right talent Pei Gong sang a song, which has explained to us that he doesn't just want to overthrow the tyrannical Qin, in my opinion, Pei Gong's ambition lies in the world, and his ambition is probably not small, and it is precisely because of this that I am willing to stay to help him seize the country, as for my hussar general, hehe, in front of outsiders in the future, don't mention it again, you and I tacitly do!" ”
Xiahou Ying was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized "oh", raised his hand and pointed at Xiang Ye and laughed and said: "Pei Gong really didn't see the wrong person, General Xiang is really the dragon among people, Pei Gong has General Xiang, why worry about the world!" Ha ha! ”
