Chapter 20: Finding Faults
The two figures knelt in the middle of the surrounding sergeants, ran to Yuan Qi, knelt down in front of Yuan Qi together, and shouted in unison: "A certain two people swear to follow the lord to the death!"
Yuan Qi let go of the hands that were holding Qi Tian's arms, and with tears in his eyes, he looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, it was not Zhang Chong and Tian Mou, who were they?
"Zhang Chong, Tian Mou, you two are ......" Zhang Chong raised his head, looked at Yuan Qi and said firmly: "A certain lord was promoted to the ranks and appointed as a pioneer, this favor cannot be repaid, only to follow the lord left and right, and hold the whip and stirrup for the lord!"
Tian Mou also said undoubtedly: "Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not served the two masters, not to mention that Mou first received the grace of the lord's knowledge, and then received the grace of the lord's recreation, how can there be any reason to abandon the lord and leave?"
Yuan Qi hurriedly stepped forward to hold the arms of the two, forcibly pulled the two up, and said with emotion: "You two are thinking, and a certain heart is clear. www.biquge.info But the appointment of the imperial court cannot be violated, and both of you are officials of the imperial court, how can you leave your post without permission?
When Zhang Chong heard this, he struggled to get rid of Yuan Qi's support, then took off his clothes and armor, threw it on the ground, and shouted: "A dignified nine-foot man, how can he be untrustworthy! Today, I would rather abandon the official than do it, but also follow the lord's left and right!" Tian Mou shouted: "That's right!"
Seeing this situation, Qi Tian hurriedly stepped forward to grab Yuan Qi and said: "Second brother, the edict of the Son of Heaven states that Zhang Chong, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, listened to the order under General Huwei's account, and now you, General Huwei, are going to Youzhou, so naturally you should also take your subordinates to go together." ”
Zhang Chong and Tian Mou handed Qi Tian a grateful look, and then said in unison: "Captain Fenwei is reasonable!"
Just when Yuan Qi was in a dilemma, more than 100 soldiers walked out from among the sergeants, stood in four rows in front of Yuan Qi, and shouted: "I will follow the general to the death!" After speaking, the more than 100 soldiers followed Zhang Chong, took off their clothes and armor and threw them on the ground. Then he knelt down in front of Yuan getting up. Taking off their armor means leaving the military, which means that these people would rather be private subordinates who have no military pay to take, but also follow Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi looked at it fixedly, these more than 100 warriors were the more than 100 old subordinates who survived the battle with the Xin barbarians among the 500 elite horsemen who followed him at the beginning.
Qi Tian persuaded Yuan Qi in a low voice: "These elites can be of great use in the future." If you don't take them with you, I'll find a way to make up for the vacant military status. Seeing what Yuan Qi was still saying, Qi Tian said again: "Since the first battle of Bahrain Mountain, the soldiers in the army have all admired the second brother, if the second brother hesitates for a moment, I am afraid that more people will stand up and follow you, in that case, I will not be able to fill so many losses." ”
When Yuan Qi heard Qi Tian say this, he couldn't say anything, so he had to say to Zhang Chong Tianmou and more than 100 old subordinates: "Since this is the case, you will follow under my command, and the military position should remain the same, but you can't take away a sword or sword from the county government." When you get to Youzhou, you will be re-issued with armor and weapons. ”
More than 100 elites heard this and cheered in unison.
Yuan Ying saw that the matter here had been resolved, and he was afraid that there would be some trouble, so he turned over and rode his horse, and in a farewell sound, he led the people out of the county town and headed to the northeast.
Seeing that Yuan Ying and the others were about to walk out of the city gate, Qi Tian couldn't help but shout loudly: "Second brother, cherish!" Yuan Qi heard Qi Tian's shout, strangled and sat down with the jade unicorn, looked back at Qi Tian, and his heart moved, Yuan Qi shouted loudly to Qi Tian: "Thousands of miles of yellow clouds and white sunshine, the north wind blows geese and snow." Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you! Big brother, goodbye-!"
Qi Tian looked at Yuan Qi's distant back, a layer of mist blurred his vision, and muttered: "Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you! Second brother, take care." When he sees each other again, it will be the day when you and my brother will become famous!"
Ten days later, Yuan Ying and the others came to Jixian County, Youzhou. handed over the matter of settling the family to Tian Mou, and Yuan Ying began to convene the civil and military forces of Youzhou for the first meeting. In the council hall of the state pastor's mansion, Yuan Ying sat on the main seat, looked at a new subordinate, and said: "At the beginning of his tenure, this general is not familiar with the military and political affairs in the territory, so please talk about the situation in the territory first. ”
An extremely strong general, without waiting for others to speak, took the lead in standing up, and said in a rough voice: "I am the general of Youzhou, the captain of Dingyuan, Shi Jia, I have heard the prestige of the state pastor for a long time, but I don't know, why did the lord let a son sit in the hall, could it be that even the state pastor, is it also the nepotism?"
The ruzi in Shi Jia's mouth naturally refers to Yuan Qi who is sitting next to Yuan Ying. Due to the extremely underdeveloped communication equipment in this world period, the news that Yuan Qi broke the barbarian and was named General Huwei by the emperor has not yet reached Youzhou. Therefore, a group of Youzhou civil and military people were puzzled by Yuan Qi, a teenager, sitting in the conference hall, and Shi Jia had the most straightforward personality and asked directly.
Yuan Ying was just about to speak, but Zhang Chong, who was standing behind Yuan Cheng, was already angry and shouted: "Bold! You are just a district captain, how dare you be rude to General Huwei?" Yuan Qi laughed, stopped Zhang Chong's words, and said: "It's okay, General Shi hasn't seen so-and-so, so naturally he doesn't know who so-and-so is, Zhang Chong doesn't have to be angry." ”
Yuan Ying also stopped Zhang Chong with his eyes, and then said to Shi Jia: "This is the general Huwei canonized by the Son of Heaven, and he is also the second son of the general, Yuan Qi. Shi Jia heard Yuan Ying's explanation, not only was he not relieved, but shouted even more fiercely: "General Huwei? Haha, it's ridiculous! What ability does a teenager have to make the Son of Heaven canonize General Huwei? Isn't it the military exploits of others who are privately pretending to be others?"
Yuan Qi was not annoyed, slowly stood up, looked at Shi Jia and said: "Then according to General Shi Jia's meaning, how can I tell that I, General Huwei, are real?" Shi Jia glanced at Yuan Qi contemptuously and said: "That's also simple, let's fight with real swords and guns, you can win me, and I will admit that you are the real General Huwei." ”
Yuan Qi sneered, and said happily: "Okay! Then let's compete!" Seeing Yuan Qi's promise, Shi Jia was stunned, and couldn't help but look at a man dressed as a literati sitting under Yuan Ying's left hand. This person is Yan Yi, who is known as the No. 1 think tank in Youzhou. Seeing Shi Jia looking at him, Yan Yi thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Shi Jia saw that Yan Yi hinted at himself, out of the trust that he had accumulated over a long period of time in Yan Yi's calculations, and the confidence in his heart was also sufficient, and he shouted: "Go, go to the school field!" After speaking, he took the lead and walked out.
Coming to the military academy field, Shi Jia rode on a sturdy black horse, looked at Yuan Qi's urn and said: "Come on, come on, fight with me for three hundred rounds!" Yuan Qi smiled softly, stepped on the jade unicorn brought by Zhang Chong, and then said: "Xin Man's left guard was also picked off the horse by a certain move, to deal with you, why use three hundred rounds?" Hearing Yuan Qi's words, Shi Jia was angry, what? One move to pick off Xin Man's left guard? Bragging is not such a way to blow, Shi Jia is not talking much, urging the horse to rush towards Yuan Qi, swinging the long knife in his hand, and directly take the top of Yuan Qi's head.
Yuan Qi was not in a hurry, and he didn't even urge the jade qilin to sit down, just standing on the spot with one person and one horse, waiting for Shi Jia's big knife to cut. Shi Jia saw that Yuan Qi did not move at all, and saw Yuan Qi's disdain, and his heart was even more annoyed, and the strength in his hand increased a little more.
Yan Yi stood aside, watching the expression on Yuan Ying's face not change at all, looking at Zhang Chong holding his arms, looking like he was watching a good show, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. He whispered to the two similar-looking people beside him, "Can you see some doorways? These two people are a pair of twin brothers, they also noticed Yuan Ying and Zhang Chong's demeanor, and they were also puzzled in their hearts, seeing Yan Yi asking in a low voice, Xian Yufu replied in a low voice: "My brother can't see anything special about that young man, and let's see how he copes with this round of confrontation first." ”
Just when a few people were talking in a low voice, Shi Jia had already rushed to Yuan Qi, and the long knife in his hand slashed vigorously at the top of Yuan Qi's head. Yuan Qi shook his head and shouted: "Admiral Youzhou, it's too weak!" Without saying a word, he raised his halberd with one hand and pointed it at the blade of Shi Jia's sword like lightning.
Yuan Qi had already withdrawn his halberd and sat on his horse with a calm expression. On the other hand, Shi Jia, even the man and the horse were knocked back four or five steps away by Yuan Qi's halberd, and finally shook the horse's back a few times, but he couldn't keep his balance, and fell off the horse's back. The big knife in Shi Jia's hand, with a roar, was picked up in the air by Yuan Qi. flipped a few times in mid-air, then the blade was facing downward, falling to the ground like a meteor, and then choking, and stuck on the ground less than half a foot away from Shi Jia's body!
Looking at the blade inserted less than half a foot beside him, Shi Jia felt a little afraid. looked at Yuan Qi in horror, his eyes full of disbelief. How powerful does this young man need to be to be able to pick up the broadsword in his hand with one blow under the superposition of the power of his war horse sprinting? How accurate does it take to make the broadsword fly into the air and slash at his side when it falls without hurting a single hair?
Not only Shi Jia, but even the Youzhou civil and military forces who were watching the battle from the sidelines were full of horror! Yan Yi, the No. 1 think tank in Youzhou, even murmured: "This son is really a god descending from heaven!" The face remained unchanged, and there were only two people in the audience, Yuan Ying and Zhang Chong.
Shi Jia is a martial artist, most of the martial artists are straightforward characters, if you lose, you lose, and if you lose, you have to admit defeat. So, Shi Jia walked to Yuan Qi's horse in three steps and two steps, bowed his head, and said in a rough voice: "I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, I have offended General Huwei, please punish General Huwei!"
Yuan Qi turned over and dismounted, helped Shi Jia up, and said with a smile: "General Shi Jia doesn't have to be like this, he was also offended before, and asked General Haihan." You and I will be among the same comrades in the future, and we should serve the country together. ”
Shi Jia said gratefully: "Thank you, General." Shi Jia's life will be the general's in the future, but the general has orders, even if the sword mountain is in the sea of fire, Shi Jia will never frown!"
Originally, it was just a contest caused by a battle of wills, but I didn't expect to subdue Shi Jia's return. Yuan Qi secretly observed the words and knew that in this contest, not only did he recover Shi Jia, but also the civil and military forces of Youzhou led by Yan Yi and Xian Yu no longer rejected outsiders like him.
Yuan Ying's vision is far longer than the current Yuan Qi, and he knows that through this contest, he has initially mastered the return of Youzhou's civil and military affairs, and in time, it is not a problem to completely master the military and political affairs of Youzhou. At that time, there will be another group of fighters who will serve the country. Thinking of this, Yuan Ying was heartbroken. You must know that since ancient times, along with the alternation of power, there will always be some bloodshed to a greater or lesser extent. This time, Yuan Qi successfully resolved the opposition within Youzhou, and it did not hurt the harmony between the two sides, so it can be said that it has done quite well, paving the way and laying the tone for the stability and reunification of Youzhou in the future.
