Chapter 873, Old General

Long waterway, turbulent endlessly, along the Linjiang River, most of the mountains are steep, there is no wharf, Lu Qianyu intends to go to Lincheng, from the waterway, it is really the best choice, no more than one day, I still remember, Lu Qianyu was framed by his uncle Lu Jian, went downstream, almost died under the Linjiang River, take this, if you don't take the waterway, detour, you need to cross a few mountains, there is no horse, manpower is limited, you have to delay for a few days, go late, can not catch Guo Sunxiong current. Thinking about it like this, I was very depressed, but when I saw that there were boats and official ships on the river, Lu Qianyu thought about it, called Tie Jinshun, and said, "Brother Tie, how strong are you?"

Tie Jinshun was slightly stunned and asked, "Brother Lu, why are you asking this, are you asking me about my left arm or my right arm?"

Lu Qianyu knew that Tie Jinshun used his right arm to strike iron, which was very different from his left arm, so he smiled and said, "How about the left arm, how about the right arm?"

Tie Jinshun raised his arms and said, "The left arm can lift a hundred catties of broadsword, and the right arm can lift a three-hundred-pound bronze tripod, the difference is great." ”

Lu Qianyu bent down, picked up a stone from the ground, and said, "Brother Tie, use your right arm to try to throw this stone, let me look up to the strength of my brother's arm." ”

Tie Jin said: "Where to hit?"

Lu Qianyu pointed to the flag on the official ship and said: "I didn't see the flagpole, Brother Tie, if you can interrupt it, when you get to Lincheng, I will come to the east, please eat good wine, in the east of Lincheng, there is a small wine shop, when I am here, I often go to eat, the shopkeeper is an old man, with a granddaughter, although the granddaughter is young, do not eat the peculiar smell of beauty embryos, the shop is sparsely populated, it is difficult for others to find, osmanthus aging, the entrance is sweet, refreshing and endless, and the aroma is compelling. ”

Tie Jinshun was already moved, he understood what Lu Qianyu meant, took the stone, weighed it, and said, "Change it, come big." ”

Jiang Hu was puzzled and persuaded: "You two, what kind of fame, people in the rivers and lakes, and the government, have always been well water and not river water, if you want to show your arm strength, you can refer to other things, why bother to pluck the hair on the tiger's head, if the flagpole on the official ship is broken, Ben Yong will not blow up the hair, isn't it asking for trouble?"

Lu Qianyu said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, you don't know, I will officially probe their temper." ”

Tie Jinshun laughed a few times, found a larger granite stone, held it in his left hand, and his eyes were locked on the approaching official ship, and shouted: "Go." ’

The officers and soldiers on the boat saw a few people on the shore, and they didn't care at first, but when they saw one of them pick up a big rock, it seemed to be aimed at this side, and they thought it was a robber coming, and shouted in fright: "It's not good, it's not good, there are strong men on the shore." ”

When the officers and soldiers on the ship heard this, they made a mess, each took their weapons, and gathered overtime, the first one, just out of the cabin, wearing a coat, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looked like a general, but he was old, about sixty years old, with a gray beard, wearing a steel knife at his waist, his eyes were blazing, and he shouted: "What are you panicking about, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and a few thieves will scare you like this, where is the military prestige, and what kind of system is it?"

The officers and soldiers immediately calmed down, just at this moment, the stone flew into the river, when the sound, impartially, just smashed on the flagpole, the thick flagpole of the bowl mouth, it was broken, the flag bowed, the old general looked at it, not angry and arrogant, and said calmly: "A few thieves, impatient, pass my order, the big ship docked, and all the thieves were taken down." ”

The officers and soldiers shouted, and the big boat slowly rowed towards Lu Qianyu's side.

Lu Qianyu saw that the flagpole was broken, the officers and soldiers were furious, and they were overjoyed, and praised: "Brother Tie, good divine power." ”

Tie Jinshun smiled: "What my brother asked me to do, I finished it, and the rest is up to you." ”

Lu Qianyu said: "When the officials and soldiers come, they can only fight the enemy, not hurt people's lives, I have my own countermeasures." ”

Jiang Hu was confused and hesitated: "If you anger the officials and soldiers, they will definitely refuse to give up, how can this be good?"

Lin Xing already knew what Lu Qianyu was thinking, and said: "Brother Jiang, don't worry, it's just that a flagpole has been broken, and the officials and soldiers won't tear their faces with us." ”

While talking, swishing, on the way to the approaching official ship, the archers stood in front of the deck, lined up, shot at the other side, arrows flew one after another, but there was no accurate head, there were a few accurate, all were knocked away by Wang Yan, Tang Shi and others with weapons, the old general looked at a group of bandits, ordered to continue shooting, do not spare the arrows, for a while, the archers skillfully released arrows, the shield hand guarded the bow of the ship, the charger was ready, just waiting for the big ship to dock, in the air, arrows such as locusts, Wang Yan and others, with weapons to form a network, knock off the arrows, after a while, the big ship approached, the bow, dozens of stormtroopers pressed a burst of screams, the bow of the ship was three feet offshore, they flew up, Wang Yan and others just about to attack, but was persuaded to retreat by Lu Qianyu, and for a while, the official army and Lu Qianyu and others formed a confrontation.

In the blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers on the ship, a large number of landing, a lot of people, more than a hundred people, crossbowmen occupy the commanding heights, pikemen are behind the shield soldiers, and the shield soldiers are placed behind the stormtroopers, the stormtroopers are wearing light armor, holding long knives, standing in the front, the blade is facing Lu Qianyu and others, and on the ship, there are also officers and soldiers, Lu Qianyu speculated that there are at least about 300 people on this ship, through the arrangement of troops, it is not difficult to know that this soldier has a very high training quality, and the combat effectiveness is not to be underestimated!

The army is not as good as the people in the rivers and lakes, although the people in the rivers and lakes have martial arts, but they do not have the training level of the officers and soldiers, and they are really pulled to the battlefield, and they are not necessarily the opponents of the officers and soldiers.

Lu Qianyu raised his hand and said, "Everyone, move slowly, I called you over to discuss something, and asked your generals, or other leaders, to see me." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old general walked out of the crowd, and when he saw that Lu Qianyu was a young talent, with a sword in his waist, and he looked like a talent, he couldn't help but wonder if this group of people was a robber, and said: "Who is Your Excellency, I am Tai Wuzhou, who has returned to his hometown, what is the purpose of Your Excellency blocking the road?"

Lu Qianyu has no contact with the people in the government, but when he was in Lincheng, he gambled with the prefect's son a few times, the two sides were lukewarm, there was no contradiction, and there was no big hypocrisy, the prefect respected the Lu family as the richest man in Lincheng, and the Lu family's business also needed to be taken care of by the prefect.

Therefore, Lu Qianyu did not know that this Tai Wuzhou in front of him, General Tai, when he was an official in the court, had broken the enemy army on the border many times, and he was a minister of the imperial court, with a prominent reputation, easy-going, and deeply respected by his colleagues.

The imperial court for military generals, often have a kind of fear, even if the other party is a loyal, but also easy to be alienated by the emperor, or framed, since ancient times, princes and generals, mercenaries, forced palace to seize the throne has not happened less, therefore, after the emperor received the chapter, allowed the old general Tai to return to his hometown, and sent five hundred Janissaries to escort the return home, the old general told the emperor, only brought three hundred people, returned to his hometown by boat, did not want to meet Lu Qianyu on the way, the demon king, to borrow his big ship to use, the old general has always been a domineering person, on the battlefield, the person who commanded thousands of troops and horses, how can he be afraid of a few people in the rivers and lakes?

Lu Qianyu said: "Old general, we have no intention of offending, but we are passing through here, and we want to go to Lincheng, but we can't find a wharf, so I want to borrow the old general's big ship and take it to Lincheng." ”

When the old general heard this, he laughed and said: "Therefore, you smashed my military flag, do you know that this military flag is the glory of my life, and the blood shed by my subordinates has been on this banner and on the battlefield, and the flag has fallen, and the military spirit has dispersed, you have made a mistake, how can I let you get your wish?"

Lu Qianyu arched his hand and said: "The old general is a little restless, the younger generation is really in a hurry to go to Lincheng, and ask the old general to make it convenient, folding the flag, it is a hurry for the younger generation, the old general, there are a lot of adults, don't blame, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, there is no smoke of war, the old general moves forward on behalf of the army, in my opinion, but the old man returns to his hometown, in this case, how can he say that the army is disheartened?"

"Sharp teeth, you boy, don't waste saliva with me, I look at you, misbehave, I am afraid of being a robber, soldiers have the duty to defend the territory, protect the safety of the people in the country, from this moment on, I will arrest you, what else do you have to say?" said the old general.

Lu Qianyu was slightly stunned, and said: "Old general, you are serious, are we robbers or not, the old general only has a scale in his heart, and please ask the old general to be accommodating, otherwise..."

"Otherwise... How!" The old general was furious.

Lu Qianyu said: "Then I have to offend." With a speech, he pulled out the lonely cold and put on an offensive posture.

Cang Chang, the old general also pulled out the waist knife, it is really worthy of being old and strong, the horse step is steady, the knife is in the body, it is a defensive move, and said: "Little doll, old man, how can you be frightened, you want to do it, I will come to ask for a few tricks, if you win me, the big ship will send you, if you lose, follow me to see the official?"

Lu Qianyu said: "You can't win me, the old general lost, please forgive me." ”

The old general snorted coldly and said, "The smell of milk has not dried, when I killed the enemy on the battlefield, you were not born yet." "The words fell, the old general rushed over, slashed with a knife, clean and neat, and his feet were very solid, Lu Qianyu did not doubt that this person had some means, such generals often have kung fu, and they are not weak, almost every year, the imperial court will hold a martial arts test, and recruit martial arts talents from all over the world for the use of the country.
