Chapter 456: Treading Water

Jinling City's ten miles of Qinhuai, Jiangnan famous.

But all the talents and tourists who come to Jinling City, no one does not want to take a trip to the Qinhuai River, the wind and snow night, singing and dancing, and indulgence.

Even if the soldiers of the King of Jiushan besieged Jinling City, and the city was almost breached, but the Qinhuai River was still brightly lit, sleepless day and night, there was still a kind of deformed prosperity here, and the hard world outside did not seem to affect this place at all.

Regarding this Qinhuai River, Li Xiuyuan never had the idea of managing it in the past, but went with the flow.

Because of the cruelty of the world, this kind of place gives some women who are powerless and can't survive.

Ten miles of Qin Huai were banned, where did these women go?

And since ancient times, the place of wind and snow has always existed and has never disappeared.

Now.

A huge painting boat on the Qinhuai River floats quietly on the Qinhuai River, although it is still daytime, but the painting boat is singing and dancing constantly, very lively.

"Ten miles of Qin Huai really lives up to his reputation, good dance, good fun, good woman, how can such a paradise on earth be occupied by a guerrilla general, two adults, do you say?"

A man with a short beard who looked like a civil official was holding a beautiful woman, profligate, drinking and laughing.

"General Qian is right, such a happy place, when you hold it tightly in your hand, how can it be taken away by others, then who is Li Xiuyuan? I have never heard of it, a loose guerrilla general still dares to occupy the government office, lead the city defense, give orders, and govern a city, the official rank is not high, and his appetite is not small.

There is nothing else to say, this time he divided the credit and sent him to the coastal area of Zhejiang to guard the salt works. ”

The other general soldier said with a sneer.

"Before, this official sent someone to investigate the cavalry under the command of this guerrilla general Li Xiuyuan, which is quite extraordinary, with excellent weapons and armor, and the horses are all good horses, which are only stronger than our own soldiers, not weaker, and can repel 100,000 rebels It is indeed a little ability, such an army falls in a guerrilla

It's a pity in the general's hands, do you have any ideas?" Suddenly, Mr. Qian's eyes flashed again, and he raised his wine glass with a smile and said.

"It depends on what Yangzhou Sun Zongbing means. ”

General Sun of Yangzhou smiled, stretched out his finger and drew on the table: "There are nothing more than three things left in Jinling City at the moment, the merit of repelling the rebels, the guerrilla general Li Xiu is close to 10,000 cavalry, and ...... The post of the chief soldier here, the official is the chief soldier of Yangzhou City, according to the rules of the imperial court,

There are 200,000 garrisons outside Jinling City, there is no general army, there is only one deputy general soldier, now the 200,000 garrisons outside the city exist in name only, if the officer can take the position of the deputy general soldier, then Yangzhou and Jinling City are all in the hands of the official, this position, the official will not let out, one of you is the general of Jiangxi

Bing, one is the chief soldier of Hunan, and if you want this position, you are afraid that the whip commander will not be able to reach it. ”

"Lord Sun is also straightforward, then the merit of this rebel army will belong to the official, the official is a civilian official, if he gets this credit, he may not have the opportunity to be promoted. ”

Qian Zongbing said: "Then Lord Zhao will suffer a little bit and take Li Xiuyuan's nearly 10,000 cavalry? ”

Mr. Zhao shook his head and smiled: "Since the two adults have said so, what other opinions does the official have, so let's do it, come, the official will give you a drink." ”

"Come, don't get drunk today. ”

The two commanders raised their glasses in response, and their faces showed a smile from the bottom of their hearts.

Between a glass of wine, they divided up all the benefits in Jinling City.

Even General Li under Li Xiuyuan's command was worried about getting it in his pocket.

As for Li Xiuyuan's meritorious deeds, there is no such thing as a meritorious service, and who in the imperial court would believe that a guerrilla general could repel 100,000 rebels? Even if Li Xiuyuan played in the imperial court, his recital would not be able to make it out of Zhongshu Province, and it would definitely be intercepted.

The reason is simple.

There is no one in this Li Xiuyuan court.

I heard that he was very close to Fu Tianqiu, the squire of the military department, and originally had a backer, but this squire of the military department has been dismissed and imprisoned, and is ready to be escorted to the capital to be convicted.

So this is an opportunity for God to give them a great merit.

At that time, it will only be written on the recital of the merit that their three major generals will work together to go to Jinling City to repel the rebel Li Liangjin, and as for Li Xiuyuan, not a single word will appear on it.

A guerrilla general with no background strength, such a feat, is like a sin of cherishing it.

How can you not be remembered.

"Someone. Halfway through the wine, Mr. Sun of Yangzhou suddenly shouted.

"Here, the concubine is waiting outside, what do the adults say? Soon, an old bustard greeted him with a smirk.

Mr. Sun said: "How can you do it if you have wine and no fun, I'm tired of listening to these tunes, let's change it, I heard a scholar say that there is a piano song called Shi Niang on the Qinhuai River, so I invited it quickly to play the piano and sing music for the officials and others." ”

The old bustard was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Big, my lord, that Shi Niang is not the girl we painted on the boat, that Shi Niang is the Qing of the Qin Pavilion, and she hasn't been performing for a long time." ”

"If the official asks you to go, you will invite you, Hugh has to say more, how much silver is needed to put it on the official's account, it is rare for the official to come to the Qinhuai River, so naturally he wants to listen to the best music. ”

Mr. Sun said lightly: "This official asked a few personal soldiers to go with you, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to invite this Shi Niang." ”

When the old bustard heard this, he had to reluctantly respond: "Please wait for a while, and the concubine will go and invite the tenth girl to come and play the piano." ”

Mr. Sun waved his hand to signal her to leave, and then said with a smile: "Come, adults, let's continue drinking." ”

But at this time.

Li Xiuyuan took Xing Shan, Mao Wu, and more than a dozen Li Jiajun to the bank of the Qinhuai River on horseback.

"The three chief soldiers of the eldest young master are drinking on that painting boat. "Mao Wudao.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, but saw that there were soldiers guarding the shore, and there were also many personal soldiers of the three chief soldiers walking around on the painting boat.

"Let the painting boat dock. He gestured.

Mao Wu answered, took a few armor soldiers and dismounted, and shouted to the boatmen on the boat to let them dock.

Soon, the movement here reached the ears of the chief soldiers on the painting ship.

"Hey, what's going on outside, why is it so noisy. Qian Zongbing wondered.

A personal soldier came to say: "My lord, it is the guerrilla general Li Xiuyuan's men and horses shouting on the shore, and they are going to board the ship to pay a visit to your lordship." ”

"That Li Xiuyuan is here?" Mr. Qian's eyes moved slightly.

The general soldier of Yangzhou next to him said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the three of us are here to curry favor, but it's better for me to see it, so as not to eat other people's short mouths and take other people's soft hands, and it's really embarrassing to start when the time comes." ”

"What Master Sun said makes sense, it's better not to see it. ”

General Qian nodded and gestured to his own soldiers: "Go and talk back, saying that the three chief soldiers of this officer are drinking on the boat, they are a little tired, they want to rest, and it is inconvenient to meet guests today." ”

"Yes, sir. The soldier answered and quickly left.

Then Li Xiuyuan heard the soldiers on the painting boat shouting, saying that the chief soldier was drunk and needed to rest, and it was inconvenient to meet guests today, so let Li Xiuyuan come back another day.

"Damn, these dog officials still dare to put on a fight. When the armor under his command heard this, he immediately couldn't help but be angry.

"General, do you want to find a ship to sail over?" Mao Wudao.

Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly and said: "No, go and transfer Han Meng and other commanders, and General Ben will personally go to visit these three chief soldiers, and if these three general soldiers avoid seeing me, they are only afraid that they are planning how to divide my merits and how to write the chapter."

Playing the emperor's invitation, in this case, can you bother it. ”

With that, he turned over and dismounted, and when he came to the shore, he took out an old picture from the cloth bag at his waist.

When I opened it, it was a dragon and horse picture painted by Zhang Seng Xuan.

Suddenly, a white light came out, but I saw a neighing sound like a dragon and a horse, and a white dragon horse suddenly jumped out of the picture and fell to the shore.

"Take me across the river to the boat. Li Xiuyuan abandoned the mortal horse and sat on the dragon horse and commanded.

Ryoma neighed, jumped out, landed on the river, and ran towards the boat.

However, it is unbelievable that the dragon horse did not sink when he stepped on the surface of the river, as if he was stepping on the shore, and it was as strong and stable as stepping on the shore.

Li Xiuyuan was dressed in black scale armor and rode a snow-white dragon horse across the river.

"God, this is a god horse. Seeing this, the armor soldiers under his command widened in disbelief.

Although they knew that the general had a magic horse, they did not expect that it would run out of the painting.

Not only them, but also the pro-soldiers stationed on the painting boat, at this moment, they also looked like they were hell when they saw a person on the river riding a horse towards here.

Someone wiped his eyes and thought he was wrong.

But when they saw Li Xiuyuan riding a horse getting closer and closer, they realized that this was not fake, but real.

It was the first time to see such a miraculous pro-soldier, and they all sat on the ground in fright.

There are also a few soldiers kneeling on the ground and bowing to the gods, only thinking that this is the manifestation of the river god.

"Quick, go and tell the commander-in-chief. Someone shuddered.

"My lord, it's not good, it's not good. Soon, one of the soldiers panicked and broke into the painting boat.

"Shouting and screaming, panicking into what kind of system. Mr. Qian said angrily.

The soldiers immediately knelt on the ground and trembled: "My lord, then, then Li Xiuyuan is coming here." ’

"Come on, come here, see you scared like this, didn't he bring a lot of people and horses?"

"Just, he's alone. "The pro-soldier said.

Mr. Qian snorted heavily: "Just one person scares you like this, isn't that Li Xiuyuan open his three heads and six arms?"

Yangzhou General Soldier next to him said with a smile: "This maybe, this Li Xiuyuan is a group of strange people, didn't there be a person named Wu Xiang before?

In this way, the rebels have already invaded Jinling City, and such a warrior is not threatened by his own officials, and he really can't be caught if he is convinced. ”

Mr. Qian nodded and said, "There is always no shortage of strange people in the world, where is that Li Xiuyuan now?"

"Back to my lord, just outside the window. The soldier pointed to the river outside the window with some horror.

Well?

Several of the commanders looked away, and their eyes immediately shrank.

But I saw a handsome young man wearing some hideous black armor, riding a dragon horse, and actually treading water.
