Hu Songyue and the others talked about the conditions in front of Shen Xi and wantonly threatened him, and they didn't have much respect for Shen Xi at all, but now they came to Juyong Pass, where the top priority of the Beijing Division's defense, met Long Qingwei's commander Li Pin, and as a result, Li Pin's respect for Shen Xi reached an overwhelming level, which made Hu Songyue, Liu Xu, Zhu Lie and other generals stunned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

They can only think that Li Pin is a flattering villain who does not know etiquette, righteousness and shame, and only knows how to conspire with Wenchen, and they have a little more contempt for Li Pin in their hearts.

Shen Xi was unmoved in the face of the invitation to the banquet: "Now that the Beiyi soldiers are coming to the city, and the people around the pass are in dire straits, the banquet will be waived...... Please ask General Li to bring all the battle reports of the state capitals around Juyong Pass, and this official will check them overnight! ”

Li Pin was amazed: "My lord is loyal to the country, and he forgets to sleep and eat, he is really my minister of the Ming Dynasty, and I will admire him in the end." The last general will go back and send someone to send the information about the state capitals around Juyong Pass in the past few months...... Adults, please wait! ”

Shen Xi didn't talk too much nonsense, just waved his hand, and Li Pin retired with interest.

Seeing Li Pin withdraw from the Chinese army's big tent, Hu Songyue asked: "My lord, it was said before that Beikou was violating Juyong Pass, but now it seems that Juyong Pass is impregnable...... Why didn't the adults go to the Yamen of the guard station to attend the banquet, and at the same time establish a good relationship with the local garrison, and find out the situation inside and outside the Juyong Pass, which will also be of great help to the defense of the Juyong Pass in the future. ”

Shen Xi glanced at Hu Songyue and said, "Hu Qianhu, don't forget, the purpose of our coming is not to assist in the defense of Juyong Pass, but to go to the Yulin Acropolis where Yansui Town is stationed. This situation inside and outside the Juyong Pass can only be used as a reference. Moreover, although it is not forbidden by the imperial court to accept banquets during the march, it is necessary to have basic consciousness as a courtier. ”

"If you really want to have a feast, you might as well go to the yamen of the guard house by yourself, presumably General Li will be hospitable...... This official also has to handle official business, please take care of yourself! ”

In the past, these generals had the impression that although the commander of an army wanted to maintain his majesty, he would also try his best to buy off the people under his command and let the officers and soldiers serve him and make meritorious contributions.

But Shen Xi didn't play cards according to the routine at all, Hu Songyue couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This young man has no one in his eyes, we will serve him and fight to the death with the Tatars, he not only shook his face at us, but also ridiculed and mean him three times and twice, where is the demeanor of a general?" ”

"This kind of unkind boy thinks that he is great if he wins the champion, I am afraid that no one in the world will put it in his eyes. If Mr. Li knew his temperament, he would definitely be disappointed and avoid it! ”

Shen Xi gave the order to expel the guests, Hu Songyue and the others came out of the Chinese army's tent stupidly, and were about to return to their camp tent to convene a meeting of the officers below.

Li Pin's expression was a little hesitant, and he didn't know that he thought that he had committed something and needed Shen Xi to help resolve it, so he was so respectful to Shen Xi.

"Mr. Li, you are ......"

Hu Songyue and the others saw Li Pin, and had to step forward to salute, after all, this person in front of him was the highest military commander of Juyong Pass, and Long Qingwei already belonged to the border army system, and it was difficult for Wei to command the hereditary succession for two generations, just because this place was a critical pass, and the imperial court attached great importance to it.

Li Pin didn't have the slightest, stopped, and asked politely, "Lord Shen, ...... Ready to stay up late? ”

Hu Songyue and the others glanced at each other, if Li Pin showed off his might in front of them, they would feel that Li Pin was a bully who was afraid of the soft and the hard, and he would not be bored with himself.

But now seeing that the chief military officer is still so polite, several Beijing camp generals always think that Li Pin himself is cowardly and cowardly, or that he has caused trouble, and urgently needs the help of the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee to resolve it, so they found Shen Xi.

When one side's momentum weakens, the other's momentum naturally rises. General Liu Xu said with a smile: "General Li doesn't have to wait, this Lord Shen has a strange temper, he will stay up until midnight every day during the march, and he will do everything himself, and he may be reprimanded for even sending hot tea in, which is really not good for oil and salt!" ”

Liu Xu said this because he wanted Li Pin to "retreat in the face of difficulties" and stop doing useless work.

A cadre of Beijing camp generals complained the most about Shen Xi, the commander, because Shen Xi did not do what they wanted, these Beijing camp generals have always been the biggest in the world, and Song Shu was just a deputy thousand households in the past, and he was in opposition to Shen Xi, who was born in Hanlin, all because these people are at the feet of the Son of Heaven all the year round, and they are all major events in the DPRK and China on weekdays, and they have powerful people behind them as backers, thinking that they can be lawless.

When Li Pin heard this, he sighed long: "No wonder! ”

Hu Songyue, Liu Xu and others looked at each other, and a question rose in their hearts at the same time: What's the wonder?

Li Pin didn't mean to explain, and raised his hand at the moment: "Everyone, don't disturb everyone's Yaxing, hot water has been prepared for you in the Acropolis, you can bathe and change clothes." Everyone, please go back and rest, if you have any needs, just mention it to the herald, and I, Long Qingwei, will naturally try my best to meet them. ”

Hu Songyue and other generals were smiling, and they all felt that Li Pin was so easy to talk because they were all from Beijing.

Hu Songyue was arrogant and clenched his fists: "Mr. Li is polite, I'll go back to rest later!" ”

Hu Songyue, Liu Xu, Zhu Lie and others walked away, and when they turned around, they found that Li Pin was still wandering in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, which made them very puzzled.

Hu Songyue said: "I've told Mr. Li that this Lord Shen is the master of oil and salt, why is he obsessed and has to get up to the knot?" Isn't there a war under the pass, someone came to ask for reinforcements, but General Li did not send troops, resulting in defeat, he was afraid of being held accountable by the imperial court, so he wanted Lord Shen to help him turn around? ”

Liu Xu sneered: "Whatever, when we arrive in Guancheng at this time, don't want us to leave again...... Everyone just rests in Guancheng, and if Lord Shen doesn't give us a reward, we won't leave, even if the imperial decree comes, it won't work! ”

……

……

Shen Xi was very calm on his side, took out the atlas of Xuanfu and Baoanzhou, Yanqing Prefecture and other state capitals obtained from the Ministry of War, spread them on the table, and then took out the dry food they carried with them, prepared to eat while looking at the map, and waited for the war report from the surrounding Juyong Pass provided by Long Qingwei.

Just when Shen Xi was looking at the desk, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in the tent, and when he raised his head, he saw Li Pin standing at the tent curtain, holding a large wooden tray in his hand, on which a teapot, teacup and steaming meal were placed.

If someone else wanted to come to Shen Xi, the guards would inevitably come in early to report it, but Li Pin, as the commander of Long Qingwei with the rank of commander-in-chief, as the head snake of Juyong Pass, those guards did not dare to offend and let him go in and out.

"Mr. Li, what are you doing?" Shen Xi asked in surprise, with a bit of vigilance in his expression...... No matter how you say it, it is uninvited, and it still appears so quietly.

Li Pin said ashamedly: "The adults refuse to go to the banquet for official business, and the last general has specially prepared tea and simple meals for you, please don't dislike it!" ”

Shen Xi frowned slightly, he had nothing to do, he was either a traitor or a thief, he didn't think Li Pin had any reason to be so flattering to him.

"This official was ordered to go to the three sides, waiting for an opportunity to recover the Yulin Acropolis, and General Li was stationed at the pass to protect the gate of the Beijing Division, and he was also not slack. Shen Xi continued to ask suspiciously.

"My lord, you are now the governor of Yansui, and the three sides are waiting for your help, since the last general cannot lead his troops to go with you, he can only do his best in the rear. My lord, while the food is still cool, you can use it first, and the border battle report will be sent to you later. Li Pin said with a smile.

Shen Xi thought for a moment and made a gesture of "please": "Mr. Li has something to say, don't be so ......"

Li Pin hurriedly said: "My lord, the last general really doesn't have anything important, only some immature ideas ready to discuss with you." ”

Shen Xi thought about it for a while, Li Pin's responsibilities were different from his own, and it was really unnecessary to say that Li Pin deliberately came to slap him.

The border army system is different from the local guard station, these border army generals are arrogant, after all, there are many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the border pass, after a war, even if Juyongguan is not invaded by the Tatars, in the end, Li Pin's stroke will be written when recording the merits.

Li Pin is not worried that there is no chance of promotion, and there is no need to befriend the powerful in the DPRK, not to mention that strictly speaking, Shen Xi is not a powerful person, at most he is an upstart.

Since he couldn't figure out what Li Pin was asking for, Shen Xi no longer worried, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and was about to start, but there was a person next to him who was watching, and Shen Xi couldn't eat this meal.

"Is Mr. Li together?" Shen Xi asked.

"No...... No, please eat, and you will wait outside first! ”

Li Pin's attitude was respectful, and when he was about to go out, Shen Xi said, "It's cold and dewy outside, since General Li has something, please stay in the big tent and talk directly, just don't mind if the official talks while eating!" ”

Li Pin hurriedly said, "Don't dare", but a hint of honor welled up on his face.

The free chair that Shen Xi brought with the army had already been put away, and there was only a small stool next to it, Li Pin sat on it, smiling and looking very happy, he could "give a seat" in the big tent of the Chinese army of the new governor of Yansui Shen Xi Shen, he sat there, his eyebrows fluttered, so that Shen Xi really couldn't figure out what this mediocre guard was thinking.

Li Pin saw that Shen Xi was eating very well, and said with a smile: "My lord, in the battle of Yuxi, you Geng Shennian personally led hundreds of strong men to bombard Tatar with ox carts, and the general was very impressed when he heard about it. ”

"Oh."

Shen Xi responded, he didn't know if Li Pin really admired or said flattering words, "At that time, Governor Liu was in danger, and he didn't think too much about it in a hurry...... But this official thinks about it, if Mr. Li is in such an environment, he will make the same choice as this official! ”

"My lord laughed, how can the last general be compared to you? Ox cart transport artillery, I have never heard of it before, and now the northwest side of the Cypriot imitates the majestic posture of the adult to build a lot of 'all-winning carts', but after the drill, it was found that it is not as good as the ox cart formation of the adult, you say...... There are so many border passes in the northwest, which one is not so admirable to adults? "Lee Channel.

After eating dry food for a long time, even the unpalatable meal feels extremely delicious. Shen Xi wolfed down and ate, burped comfortably, touched his stomach, picked up the teapot next to him and poured a cup of tea, and after drinking it, he felt refreshed, and then said:

"It's really too good to throw yourself into the ground, I just hope that when the official makes the arrangements, General Li can cooperate as much as possible, hoping to drive out the Tartars, so that my Chinese border can be stable for a long time!" (To be continued.) )
