Volume 1 Troubled Boys Section 228 Old Marshal
"Is the Acropolis Division General Liang Ziheng in front?" the old general Han Shizhong grabbed the reins of his horse not far from Liang Ziheng's army and asked in a loud voice.
Liang Ziheng's eyes changed slightly, and the consternation on his face quickly turned into admiration, for this old marshal with great prestige in the army, even if he was the envoy of the Acropolis, he had to dismount to greet him, not to mention that he had already served under the old marshal's account.
Where did he dare to delay at all, Liang Ziheng immediately jumped off the war horse, walked quickly to Han Shizhong's horse, bowed down and said: "Liang Ziheng meets the old marshal!"
The old man with gray hair was burly, his shoulders were extremely broad, and although he looked quite old, his face was full of red light, and his spirit was still strong.
The old general sat steadily on his horse, looking at the tense scene in front of him with a half-smile and a half-smile, and then glanced at Liang Ziheng and Wang Huai'an with his residual eyes.
Behind him, on the horseback, which was only half a head away from the war horse he sat on, was also a young man with a long figure, the young man was brightly dressed, but it did not highlight wealth and nobility, but it was more like a manifestation of the ultimate upbringing.
He followed closely behind the old general Han Shizhong, and he did not have a single soldier in addition to that.
The young man sat on the horse, but his eyes passed through the crowd and looked at the two men standing at the gate.
One of them was Yu Han, and the two of them met with a slight smile, obviously not the first time they met, and then, the young man locked his eyes on Luo Bei, and the brilliance in his eyes became complicated.
Maybe it was a little surprised, maybe it was a little excited, but his calm and quiet temperament made him restrain himself and didn't exhale, only a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Luo Bei didn't expect that the "reinforcements" that Yu Han was waiting for were an old man and a young man, the old man was wearing a simple robe, silver hair and long beard, a wide body, and excellent spirits, it seemed that he should be a person who had galloped on the battlefield, so he was still calm as usual in front of the two Xiao armies that were about to fight, without a trace of panic.
Although there was a faint smile on his face, what was revealed in his eyes was an unconcealable majesty, and even the two generals who had not given in to each other just now slowly lowered their heads the moment they saw him, like eggplants that had been beaten through by autumn frost.
This old man is obviously not an ordinary person.
When Luo Bei looked away a little and saw the young man beside the old man, the astonishment in his eyes was even deeper than when he first saw the situation in front of the door.
This man he not only knew, but was very familiar with him.
He is none other than Zhao Ming, who first met in the Lotus Temple, and experienced Yang Zaixing's single-handedly rescue of 3,000 prisoners and misty mustard seeds, and then said goodbye in front of Zhu Xianzhen, and it was the general Dong Xian who personally arranged the escort to escort him away from the two armies, and his whereabouts were quite secret.
At that time, Yang Zaixing died in battle, and the disheartened Mu Xinrui not only told Luo Bei all his life experience and even the transactions with the Jin people, but also told Luo Bei about the scene when he saw Yun Niang in the Five Kingdoms City, which shows that Zhao Ying and Yun Niang have long intersected with the Jin people.
And Jin Guo first sent the mysterious Black Feather Cavalry to besiege the Lotus Temple, and then sent the powerful Black Water Cavalry to charge the thatched hut of the old man surnamed Xi in the night rain, the purpose of which was to capture Zhao Ying and Yun Niang, which was already very clear.
Everything vaguely involves the life experiences of the two, but unfortunately they were separated before Luo Bei went to ask clearly, but they didn't
thought that not long after, the two met again in Lin'an, which was something that Luobei never expected.
Perhaps seeing the emotion in Luo Bei's eyes, Zhao Ying nodded slightly and smiled very kindly, like an old acquaintance who had been separated for a long time and reunited.
Although he didn't speak, Luo Bei understood that after the matter in front of him was resolved, he would answer the question in Luo Bei's heart.
"Wang Huai'an, if I'm not mistaken, back then, you won more with less in Huang Tiandang, and you were always at the forefront of several battles!" Han Shizhong nodded at Wang Huai'an with a smile.
To say that Han Shizhong was already a British minister and privy envoy at that time, and there was a lot of difference in grade between Liang Ziheng and Wang Huai'an, but Liang Ziheng was the deputy envoy of the Acropolis Division, responsible for the responsibility of Lin'an garrison, although the grade was not very high in the court, but the position was the most important, he was naturally familiar with it, but Wang Huai'an was different, he was just a lieutenant colonel, and it was a poor state like Linchuan, how could he get into the eyes of others?
However, Wang Huaian never expected that this person who had made them admire could also call his name casually, and this person was the commander in charge of thousands of armies, so his surprise was beyond words.
"Han Shuai......" he shouted in a trembling voice, almost jumping out of his heart.
This sentence "Han Shuai" was the name of everyone in front of the battle, Wang Huaian subconsciously called out, and even forgot that Han Shizhong's identity is now different, he is no longer in charge of a soldier, but was transferred back from the front line by the imperial court, although Mingli was promoted to an official position, and the national duke, the privy envoy, and the young master were added together, but in fact, people with a discerning eye know that this is a clear ascension and secret descent, depriving him of military power in one fell swoop.
Han Shizhong laughed loudly: "It seems that you all remember me as an old guy, but don't call me a marshal anymore, the old man is just an idle person now, and he can only rely on the old and sell the old in front of you boys!"
Liang Ziheng hurriedly bowed down and clenched his fists, and said: "The old marshal promoted the grace of the teachings back then, how dare the younger generations forget ......"
"Good, good, good" Han Shizhong glanced at him, shouted three "good" words in a row, and then looked at Wang Huai'an.
Wang Huai'an naturally didn't dare to say more, when he suddenly saw Han Shizhong just now, he was a little speechless, and he lost his temper unconsciously, at this time he had returned to calm, looking at Yu Han's appearance, he could guess a thing or two, as early as before the action, he felt that this trip was extremely risky, and it was very likely that people would be punished if they didn't catch it, but at that time Yu Han affirmed that he had other reinforcements, but he kept it mysteriously for the time being, and now it seems that his so-called "reinforcements" are the old marshal with high prestige in the army.
"Huai'an, everything is under Han Shuai's orders!"
Han Shizhong laughed when he heard "haha", stretched out his hand to hold the reins of the horse, and then turned over and dismounted, his burly figure strode in front of Liang Ziheng first, holding Liang Ziheng's forearm with a big hand, and beckoned to Wang Huaian to let him pass.
Wang Huaian didn't dare to disobey, so he had to take a few hurried steps to Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong stretched out his other hand and held Wang Huai'an's arm very quickly, his movements were extremely agile, it seemed that although he was old, he did not completely put down his skills.
He took both of them up and said with a smile: "Since the two adults haven't forgotten the old man, then the old man really wants to rely on the old man and sell the old man today!"
As he spoke, he swept away the sergeants on both sides who had stopped fighting, and sneered
sound, continued: "After many years, the two of you are already in important positions, and it seems that you are not bad, but tonight's incident is according to the old man, although you are in charge of the military, you have forgotten the responsibility behind this power......"
Liang Ziheng, like Wang Huai'an, was grabbed by his arm, and he could not withdraw, nor did he dare to contradict it slightly, so he could only lower his head and listen to him.
"Liang Ziheng, Wang Huai'an, both of you have served under the old man's account, you should know my Han Shizhong's temperament......" Han Shizhong's white hair carried a trace of the vicissitudes of time, but his eyes and complexion were extremely grim, which made Liang Ziheng and Wang Huaian both silent.
Seeing that the two of them did not dare to disobey, they both nodded seriously, Han Shizhong asked with a straight face: "Since you are also generals, you should know the heavy responsibility on your shoulders, not only to be in charge of the safety of one party, but also the life and death of hundreds of soldiers, in my opinion, the current scene is not to have a fight between each other?"
"Wang Huai'an, come and tell me which country and which side you are a general of?"
His question was like a thunderclap, Wang Huai'an was startled, suddenly raised his head, and just looked directly into Han Shizhong's eyes, he did not look away from his gaze, but replied: "Wang Huai'an is the pioneer captain of the Linchuan garrison camp of the Great Song Dynasty!"
Han Shizhong looked at him, nodded slightly, and then looked at Liang Ziheng beside him and asked, "Then Liang Ziheng, what position are you?"
Liang Ziheng was naturally not to be outdone, and said loudly: "Liang Ziheng, as the deputy envoy of the Lin'an Acropolis Department of the Great Song Dynasty, shoulders the responsibility of Lin'an security and guarding the imperial city!"
After both of them answered, they also glanced at each other briefly, although they were still tense just now, they both saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes at this moment.
Han Shizhong nodded lightly, and increased the strength of his two hands a little more, he knew that this would not hurt the two of them.
"Okay, so you two are generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and the soldiers under your command are naturally also my soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can be regarded as comrades with each other, and the friendship between comrades can support life and death, so I want to ask, is there any party who has committed a heinous crime, the crime is not punishable, you have to deal with your comrades?"
Hearing this, Liang Ziheng and Wang Huai'an couldn't help but sink in their hearts, you must know that this kind of comradeship fighting each other in the army is a big taboo, how can they bear it.
"Han Shuai, we ......"
"Old marshal, I ......"
The two of them were speechless for a while, originally they had their own reasons, each had their own responsibilities, and everyone had good reasons, but in front of this old marshal who was both graceful and powerful in the army in the past, how could they still speak.
"Hmph, I don't think you have anything to say!" Han Shizhong let go of the arms of the two and shook the sleeves of his robes, and the fierce scene of pulling out his sword just now came to an end.
At this time, Zhao Ying had already dismounted, came behind Han Shizhong, whispered something in his ear, and then glanced at Luo Bei and Yu Han twice.
Han Shizhong nodded slightly, and immediately ordered: "It is said that it is likely to be a black shop trading den inside, since everyone is here, then let's go in with the old man to have a look?"
......
