Chapter 180: Playing with the Sword
In the valley, the camp of Wang Mengbu is here. The top of the mountain on both sides of the valley has been occupied by Wang Meng's soldiers and horses, and on the top of the mountain on both sides, there is a small camp, but the main camp of the whole army is still in the valley.
Entering the camp, Wang Meng told Wang Zun: "When our soldiers built the camp here, they paid a lot of blood and sweat! At that time, the ground was full of large and small stones, and it was difficult for people to walk in front of them, and it was even more difficult to set up camp. Later, I led the soldiers to carry out the stones in the valley little by little, and during this period, I don't know how many brothers were worn out of their hands and feet, and their hands and feet were smashed, but Niu Han was so close that they did not send a single soldier to help! Now that he has no food to eat, he thinks of me and wants me to borrow food, isn't it a joke? Speaking of this, Wang Meng first snorted coldly, and then sneered.
Wang Zun didn't expect the contradiction between Niu Han and Wang Meng to be so big. He said: "At that time, Ru Qing was also in a hurry to arrange a camp in Wating and recruit soldiers and horses!" ”
Wang Meng waved his hand and said: "Brother clan, I know that you have a good relationship with Niu Han, but Niu Han is not a good person, it is not worth having a deep friendship, in the future, you will have to pay more attention to him." ”
"......" What kind of person Niu Han is, he knows much better than Wang Meng. Niu Han is a person who is extremely attentive to things, but he is really not very good at human sophistication.
Wang Meng glanced at Wang Zun, shrugged his shoulders, looked around at the camp, and said, "Brother clan, I don't know, how much effort did the soldiers of our army spend in order to build a camp here......
As he spoke, he suddenly paused, looked back at Liu Xiu who was following behind Wang Zun, felt very angry, and couldn't help asking, "Brother, who is this?" ”
He and Wang Zun are relatives of the same clan, and the relationship between them is too familiar, and he basically knows the people around Wang Zun, even if he doesn't know the name and surname, he will look familiar.
But the person in front of him, he was sure that he had never seen it before. And this person is not only outstanding in appearance, but also outstanding in temperament, not like a general.
Seeing that Wang Meng noticed Liu Xiu, Wang Zun chuckled in his heart, and he was about to speak, Liu Xiu gave his hand unhurriedly and said with a smile: "General Wang, my surname is Jin Mingwen." ”
"Jin Wen ......" Wang Meng thought about the name carefully, but still didn't have any impression.
Wang Zungan laughed twice and introduced to Wang Meng: "Jin Wen is my newly recruited personal guard, the young man has a quick mind and skills, and now he can be called my right-hand man!" ”
Hearing that Wang Zun valued Jin Wen so much, Wang Meng couldn't help but glance at him twice, nodded, and said, "It looks good, his demeanor is outstanding, and he is a talent!" ”
Liu Xiu's appearance is not picky, he is tall, handsome, noble and elegant, and it is easy for people to have a good impression.
However, after listening to Wang Meng's evaluation of Liu Xiu, the personal guards around Wang Meng all showed unconvinced expressions, and when they looked at Liu Xiu, they didn't have to look at them, but with the corners of their eyes.
Entering the tent of the Chinese army, Wang Meng asked Wang Zun to sit on the main seat. Wang Zun is not only a clan brother, but also a general, whether it is family status or military position, he is higher than Wang Meng.
Wang Zun waved his hand again and again, refusing to sit down, after all, this is the camp of Wang Meng's army, Wang Meng is the main general in the army, and it is too inappropriate for him to sit in the main seat.
Wang Meng knew that his brother was a brother who talked about rules and etiquette in everything, and after the two of them gave in, Wang Meng asked people to move over a table and put it next to him.
In this way, the Chinese military tent has become two main positions, and no one suffers, and it is convenient for the two of them to talk.
After sitting down, Wang Meng said with a smile: "Brother has worked hard all the way, I have asked people to prepare wine and food, it will be fine in a while." ”
Wang Zun sighed and said, "Why is Ah Meng so troublesome, besides, there is not much food in Ah Meng's army, so it is necessary to save money!" ”
Wang Menghaha laughed and said: "Brother don't worry, we don't have much else here, that is, there is a lot of game in the mountains. ”
Wang Zun also smiled, stroked his palm and said, "Good, good, good!" In this way, you're welcome to be a brother! ”
After a pause, he changed his words and said: "Now that the war is becoming more and more urgent, the Han army is menacing, and it has captured the important place of Luoyang first, Ah Meng thinks, what will be the outcome of this battle?" ”
Wang Meng smiled and said, "The main force of the enemy army is reluctant to enter Hanyang for a long time, why?" Naturally, they are afraid of the combat power of our army, as long as all parts of our army hold the key points of various checkpoints, they can put the main force of the enemy army outside Hanyang, as for the enemy army that captured Luoyang, it is just a lone army, there is no backup, there is no need to worry! ”
It can be heard that Wang Meng is still very confident in this battle.
Wang Zun sighed lightly and said meaningfully: "If the king hadn't chosen Chengdu at the beginning, there would have been no such battle!" After speaking, he peeked at Wang Meng's reaction.
Wang Meng was a die-hard loyalist of Kui Huan, and at the same time a staunch anti-Han faction, and he was the number one among the ministers who encouraged Kui Huan to defect to Gongsun Shu.
The purpose of Wang Zun's words was to try Wang Meng's reaction, if Wang Meng's position wavered during this time, he should try his best to fight for it.
Wang Meng waved his hand and said, "I think the king's choice is right!" Liu Xiu's wolf ambition has always wanted to annex Liangzhou. If the king helps Liu Xiu destroy Gongsun Shu, then the next unlucky person must be the king! The foundation of Liangzhou, but the king took us to fight hard, why should I give it to him Liu Xiu? ”
Wang Zun said: "The world always has to be unified!" ”
Wang Meng said: "Of course, the world must be unified, Liu Xiu is his son of heaven, and the king is the king of Xiliang, everyone is happy!" But can Liu Xiu agree? Since there is a battle in the morning and evening, it is better to fight late than early, at least we don't have to fight the enemy alone, and we can also pull Gongsun Shu. ”
Wang Zun didn't say much, Wang Meng's attitude was very resolute, that is, he wanted to occupy Liangzhou to the death, and be the king and hegemon here in Liangzhou, which was also very in line with Kui Huan's thoughts.
At this moment, a soldier walked into the Chinese military tent with wine and food. Seeing this, Wang Meng laughed and said: "Brother clan, the wine and food are here, today, you and I will not return drunk!" ”
Wang Zun waved his hand and said, "I can't drink alcohol today, I have to rush to Wating later!" ”
"What are you afraid of, if the clan brother is drunk, I will arrange a carriage for the clan brother, and it will not delay the business!" As he spoke, Wang Meng lifted the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Wang Zun and himself, and then he picked up the cup and said with feeling: "Brother clan can figure it out, willing to continue to help the king do things, I am also very happy, come on, clan brother, you and my brother have a toast!" ”
"!" Wang Zun picked up the cup, touched it with Wang Meng, and drank all the wine in the cup.
Wang Meng beckoned: "Brother clan, try it quickly, how about seeing the game we have here?" ”
Wang Zun looked down at the dishes on the table, which were really sumptuous, such as stewed mushrooms with pheasant, braised wild boar, and steamed crucian carp and so on. Wang Zun picked up the chopsticks and ate a bite of steamed crucian carp, which was delicious and mouth-watering.
He praised, "Well, it tastes really good!" Delicious! ”
Wang Meng laughed on his back, poured wine for Wang Zun again, and said: "These days, although I am stationed in the wilderness, I am not only not thin, but also fat, haha!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the cup, took a sip of wine, and said helplessly: "It's a pity, you and my brother can only drink this delicious wine, and in this barren mountain and wilderness, you can't find singers and dancers to help the fun!" ”
Before Wang Zun could speak, one of Wang Meng's guards stepped out of the ranks, saluted Wang Meng and Wang Zun, and said, "General, general, I wish to dance the sword to help the fun!" ”
This guard is tall, well-proportioned and slender, looking at his face, his appearance is also outstanding, about thirty years old, thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose bridge, plump lips, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of arrogance.
Wang Zun knew this person, he was one of Wang Meng's personal guards, named Sanyu, and he didn't know much about him, but he heard that this person was highly skilled and skilled in martial arts.
Seeing that Sanyu took the initiative to come out and asked for a sword dance, Wang Meng stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "Very good!" Very good! ”
Sanyu bowed, then unsheathed his sword, and one of the soldiers stepped forward and handed him a wooden sword and a shield. Sanyu took it, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and danced in the tent.
Han people are good at dancing, both men and women, and they love to dance. It's just that the dance in the army is more fierce, fierce, and full of explosiveness.
To the accompaniment of the drums, Sanyu is sometimes as quiet as a virgin, sometimes moving like a rabbit, one move and one style, hanging with a whirring wind, even if it is a solo dance, people can feel a strong shock.
Seeing this, Wang Meng took the lead in applauding, Wang Zun also nodded again and again, stroked his palms and praised, and the people sitting below cheered loudly.
At the end of the dance, Sanyu put away his sword, his face was not red, he was not panting, as if he was fine. He bowed his hand to Wang Zun and Wang Meng.
Wang Meng said with a smile: "Sanyu's dance is exciting!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanyu arched his hand and said, "General, dancing alone is too boring, can you ask the general to send one person to fight against the sword?" ”
As soon as he said this, the tent suddenly fell silent. Don't look at Wang Meng in front of Wang Zun, calling him a brother and a brother, very polite, practical, and he also has a plan in his heart.
Everyone is a king who follows at the same time, and their achievements are almost the same, and my Wang Meng's ability is not under your Wang Zun, why can you become a general, and I am just an ordinary general?
Regarding the gap between the identities of the two, Wang Meng was somewhat unconvinced, but he never showed it in front of Wang Zun.
But all the soldiers under him could feel it, and there was a knot in his heart. This time, Sanyu offered to fight against Wang Zun's subordinates, but in fact, he wanted to help Wang Meng and suppress Wang Zun.
Wang Zun also has a group of henchmen with strong martial arts, and at this time, people will naturally not tolerate it. A young man strode out of the ranks, walked to Sanyu's side, and bowed his hand to Wang Zun and said, "General, my subordinates are willing to fight Sanyu with a sword!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Sanyu beside him, who was looking at him with his peripheral vision, and the eyes of the two collided, and the smell of gunpowder immediately appeared.
Wang Zun frowned secretly and looked at Wang Meng, who laughed and said, "Brother, since the two of them are willing to have fun with the sword, let them compare!" ”
Wang Mengdu said so, and Wang Zun didn't want to say anything more, but just reminded: "Ma Ye, it's over!" ”
A young man named Ma Ye bowed his hand and responded, "Oh! ”
Sanyu and Ma Ye each held a wooden sword and a shield in the other.
The sword is not a formal competition, but a competition between swordsmanship and dance, and the two sides are dancing and fighting each other with swordsmanship.
Sanyu and Ma Ye both follow the beat of the drum, sometimes jumping with their left foot, sometimes with their right foot, and each time they jump, they hit the shield with a wooden sword to meet the drum beat, making a banging sound.
The atmosphere in the tent was immediately raised, and everyone present raised their wine glasses and cheered from time to time. The two circled for a while, and Sanyu was the first to attack, his figure jumped up, and the wooden sword in his hand stabbed at Ma Ye's chest.
Seeing that he was menacing, Ma Ye didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly raised his shield to block the opponent's edge.
Boom! The wooden sword stabbed on the shield, Ma Ye leaned back, took a step back, he was about to fight back with the sword, Sanyu was faster, his body twisted, turned sideways, and stabbed out a sword again.
Ma Ye still blocked with a shield.
Boom! Poof!
