Chapter 59: Hebei Tingzhu (3)
In the end, with the two fierce generals who had just risen, Tong Feibu and Jiang Qibu arrived outside the city of Xia Quyang almost at the same time.
At this time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also became military marquis by virtue of their military merits, and if they went up to the first rank of captain, it was not Tong Fei's master. In the Jiang family's army, the commanders of the first battalion were all engaged in the statistics of military merits through Bing Cao, and then appointed by Jiang Qi himself.
Of course, Tong Fei will not bury such a talent, when he arrived in Xiaquyang to tidy up and stop, Tong Fei took Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Ran, who were in high spirits with new armor, and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
And after following Tong Fei to the Chinese army, knowing that he was about to meet the legendary general who became famous, the three of them were very excited, and they were always empty-eyed, and even made jokes with different boots on their feet.
It's no wonder that even Yan Liang, who grew up in the big clan, the biggest official he has seen in the past is just a county order, but now he wants to see the person who commands the ten thousand armies, ranks as the general of Zhenbei, and the marquis of the feudal lie, can he not make them nervous and excited.
Along the way, Yan Liang was very useful to see the soldiers who saluted him, although he clearly knew that the soldiers who saluted were mainly to respect his cousin who walked in the front, but Yan Liang was still very satisfied, but he couldn't enjoy the treatment at home before.
And Wen Chou and Gao Ran, who were born in the market, unconsciously puffed up their chests, so as not to lose their prestige.
Under the leadership of Tong Fei, the three of them slowly walked towards the place where the two flags were floating in the air, and the closer they got to the battle flags, the more cold and intense the three people who had just arrived in the Chinese army felt.
Especially after the patrol soldiers who walked around were replaced by soldiers wearing face pockets and embroidered unicorn cloaks, the three of them unconsciously put their hands on the hilt of the knife to prevent the fierce murderous aura.
Of course, they all knew that these awkward qi were emitted by the robes, but the innate vigilance of the warriors still made them dare not relax.
Perhaps sensing the discomfort of the three of them, Tong Fei said lightly: "Don't worry about following me, these are the guards of the fourth brother, the most elite Qilin Guard in the whole army, they are composed of loyal dead soldiers, as long as you don't make dangerous moves, they won't attack." ”
Hearing Tong Fei's words, the three of them unconsciously quickened their pace, for fear of causing something, and at this moment they completely lost their usual arrogance.
Fortunately, in fear, they soon saw the Qilin banner, and seeing the Chinese army naturally means that they are not far from the Chinese army's tent.
A cup of tea, a few people came to a white-roofed tent in front of the big tent, nearly three zhang of the Chinese army tent was dragged high by more than ten steps, the two sides of the big tent steps were spliced together, and the bowl flagpole of more than ten zhang high stood in the middle.
At this moment, there are two flags floating on the flagpole, located on the left is a large flag with a width of one zhang, a length of three zhang, a white background and a red edge, the front of the flag wears gold wire and silver thread, embroidered with a lifelike unicorn.
The red fire unicorn stepping on the auspicious clouds is extremely mighty and galloping downward, as if flying into the mortal world, located behind the big flag, and the surname of the banner owner is neatly written in official script.
Adjacent to the Qilin banner is a flaming red flag that is three zhang wide and one zhang long, with a big 'Han' character on the front of the flag, which explains the country represented by the flag, and the official position of the leader of the army is written on the back of the battle flag from top to bottom, 'Jiang, the general of the north of the Han Dynasty'.
As the leader of the Chinese army, the two flags are enough for the hundred battalions of the whole army to see clearly, and now looking at the majestic tent and the guards standing guard on the side, Yan Liang, who has never seen such a scene, is a little inexplicably nervous.
Of course, Tong Fei didn't break it, he sorted out his appearance and walked towards the steps, and the soldier standing on his crotch just arrived at the steps and said, "When did you come back?" ”
"Qiqi Seventh General, I caught up with the army three days ago." After almost a year in the army, the thin body of the eagle slave when he trained the white eagle is gone, and now he looks quite energetic.
"Oh, why didn't you see the eagle?" Tong Fei looked at the sky curiously and said.
"The master received a document from General Xu saying that it would arrive in the next two days, and the white eagle was released early this morning, and the master asked it to go and see where General Xu was." The carving slave said proudly.
Tong Fei nodded understandingly, patted the carving slave on the shoulder and asked, "Oh, is Gongming coming?" It seems that his hands and feet are still quite fast, okay, I won't tell you, is the fourth brother here? ”
"This morning, the master found Xun Sima, Tian Changshi and several other adults to discuss military affairs in the tent, and the master said that the general did not need to report after coming, and went in directly." The carving slave said sideways.
"That's good, that's good, I'm going to give the order first." Tong Fei nodded with satisfaction and walked up the steps quickly, Yan Liang and the other three didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly followed, until they arrived outside the tent, Tong Fei hurriedly signaled the nervous three people to put their weapons on the weapon rack outside the tent.
After entering the account, Tong Fei looked at it casually, and finally found the target among the people around the sand table, Jiang Qi, who was dressed in bright silver armor, saluted and said: "The last general, Tong Fei, was ordered to recover the counties of Anping County, and now it is completed, and I am here to hand over the order!" ”
Hearing Tong Fei's report, Jiang Qi looked back and saw Tong Fei with a dusty face, then changed his rigorous face, laughed and stepped forward quickly: "Haha, Yuanyi has worked hard all the way, three or five days earlier than expected!" ”
"Fly without dishonoring the mission, now return the arrow!" , Tong Fei did not look like the familiar senior brother, but solemnly raised a bronze tiger talisman above his head.
"A good 、、、、 victory is not arrogant, it is a necessary ability for the general, and after the next Quyang is laid, the Qi will be rewarded for meritorious deeds." Jiang Qi nodded and took the tiger talisman with satisfaction.
"I don't dare to take credit for the people of the Han Dynasty." Tong Fei said with a smile.
Looking at Tong Fei's triumphant appearance, Zhang Fei said with a wicked smile: "Okay, okay, it's not enough to praise you, since Lao Qi has made a great contribution this time, when he attacks Quyang, don't fight with me for this vanguard!" ”
"Sixth brother can't do it, although you are now the first fierce general of our army, but now that my cousin is here, his courage is not inferior to you." , Although a year of military service has combed Tong Fei out of frivolity, he is still young at the moment after all, and immediately said without showing weakness.
After speaking, Tong Fei turned sideways and let a few people behind him, and said: "The fourth brother flew to introduce, this is Feizhi's cousin Yan Liang and Yan Wenheng, this is the cousin's sworn brother Wen Chou and Wen Bujun, and his friends Gao Lan and Gao Jingzhi, "
"The last general Yan Liang", "the last general Wen Chou", "The last general Gao Lan", "I have seen the general"
Looking at the three of them, the words 'Hebei Tingzhu' immediately appeared in Jiang Qi's mind, and then praised loudly: "Okay, I have long heard Yuanyi say that this time I got the help of the three brothers, so that I can count the city, and I have always hoped to witness the heroic appearance of the three Jizhou men earlier, it is really better to meet than to be famous." At the beginning, I thought that Yuanyi was exaggerating, but now I see three strong men, and Qi knows what heroes are! ”
"General Miao Zan, Liang and other small credits are not mentioned compared to the general's horse to seize the Changshe and fight the Guangzong naked, and now I can see the general's life." , Yan Liang said a little dizzy.
Earlier, he didn't expect that the thunderous General Qilin was so young and peaceful, he couldn't believe his feelings, you must know that folk legends can say that this Qilin General, who has taken the lead in several major battles, is a wicked person who kills people without blinking.
But now when I see Jiang Qi, in addition to the beard on his face and his casually scattered hair, he is more like a capable and good son. If it weren't for the armor he was wearing, and seeing his cousin respecting him so much, Yan Liang would have thought that he was dreaming, and the person in front of him must not be Jiang Qi.
"In the past, when I heard the legend of the general in the market, the last general and others were all enthusiastic, but now that I can see the general, I can't believe it." Wen Chou said more directly.
"At the beginning, the last general was still preparing to go to Guangzong to defect to the general, and when he didn't want to arrive, the general had already been pulled, and finally fell under the command of General Tong by chance, and now he finally has to vote for the general, I have no regrets." Gao Ran took over the topic and said.
"Haha、、、、 if my Jizhou men are like three, then I am worried that the world is not peaceful, today the three voted for the Han army, I believe that there is the ability to wait, and in time it will become the pride of Jizhou. When we mention our army again, there will be more than five tiger generals, and several generals are the pillars of my Hebei court! ”
"Haha, then I don't want to congratulate the lord on getting a good general again!" Chen Qun, who had been observing on the side, immediately spoke.
"Now that the war is imminent, God has sent a few generals to our army, which can only mean that the death of Taiping Dao is coming." Xun Yu echoed.
"Now that our army conforms to the will of the people and wins the heavens and the people, how will the Yellow Turban Army, which occupies a favorable territory, fight with our army, it seems that the victory or defeat will be known soon." Tian Feng said very happily.
"As long as the general gives an order, he is willing to attack the city for the lord and pull out the wall, and die without regrets." Infected by the atmosphere, Yan Liang's blood boiled a little and immediately asked for his life.
Jiang Qi looked at some of his subordinates who were carried away by the victory, and reminded: "What you said is very true, but now our army is not only inferior to the defenders in terms of numbers, but also a tired army. ”
"What the lord said is very true, now that the enemy and I are unknown, we must not move lightly, and it is not too late to repair it for some time." Frustrated and approving.
"Okay, okay, as for the matter of sending troops, I'll talk about it later, now that our army has three more generals, we can't treat it lightly!" Jiang Qi changed the topic with a smile, and shouted loudly after speaking: "Come on, bring up the prepared armor and weapons!" ”
Soon, with Jiang Qi's order, three pro-soldiers who had been waiting for a long time walked in with trays, and each of the pro-soldiers who entered was holding a set of exquisite armor and a sword in their hands.
Stroking the excellent armor, Jiang Qi said to the three people who were newly cast in front of him: "After Qi learned about the three strong men in the Yuanyi letter, he ordered someone to remake the armor, and the three sets of armor were made by the best technicians in Luoyang, hoping that the three generals could wear this armor to make new contributions to the Han and the people!" ”
"Thank you for the reward, I will live up to my lord's expectations, and I will not humiliate my armor!" Looking at the exquisite armor, Yan Liang, who was a little dizzy, took it solemnly, and then said angrily.
"Chou will definitely wear this armor to attack the camp for the main public, and swear to serve his life!" Wen Chou's face flushed with equal emotion, and he loudly expressed his loyalty.
"Born despicable, now it is valued by the lord, although it cannot be repaid even if he dies." Gao Ran's eyes were a little red and swollen and said.
Since he was a child, his family was poor, and he was in his twenties and had not yet married, and he had received the attention of others. Dancing with knives and guns all day long, he only got a little respect when he was with Wen Chou and Yan Liang, and now Jiang Qi, a high-ranking official, personally encouraged him, and also gave him a set of armor worth no less than a thousand yuan, can he not be moved.
"This armor is a rare number of armor specially made for the fourth brother by the craftsman battalion, this armor can't shoot through the crossbow twenty steps away, and the generals below are all looking forward to the fourth brother being able to give it, but except for General Xu Gongming, who has a set, there are three." , Tong Fei was happy for the three of them in his heart, and at the same time, he said remindedly.
After listening to Tong Fei's words, the three of them were even more moved, and at the same time, they cherished a piece of armor even more. In the years that followed, the three of them wore no less than 100 sets of armor, but only this armor became their burial object, and they returned to old age with them for a hundred years.
