Chapter 33: The easy-going Hou Ye
A casual flap of a butterfly's wings can cause a hurricane. What will it cause if you flapp your wings? If history is a one-sided combination of individual frames, how will one's own choices change this one-sidedness? Life is a heavy run, and you need to keep making choices at every fork in the road. And every choice will lead to a completely different path of destiny. I really don't know if my road is full of thorns, or if it's a smooth road. Since you have chosen, you have no regrets, and it is good to go to the end of the road.
Canghu gave a salute to the dazed Hou Ye and left with the Yun family, along with Dai Yu and his fifteen personal guards. Soon the march will be due, and taking these captives with them will affect the march. What's more, as their leg injuries improve, they will have to be guarded. These people are not house sparrows stepping on little white tails, but famous Jing Chu swordsmen. Their descendants once followed Li Ling and killed Mobei Shan Yu and complained bitterly.
There is a small copper seal in his hand, and there is also one such a seal. The bottom of the seal letter is engraved with the seal seal of the Marquis of Changyi, stroking the head of the beast representing the marquis, and a bold plan is formed in Yun Xiao's heart.
On the other side there is a military village, there are a thousand people. I only have a mere 100 people, and the gap is obvious. We must try to reduce the combat effectiveness of the other party, otherwise no matter how powerful the Hun men are, they will not be all characters who are ten after all.
A convoy of more than a dozen ox carts drove slowly on the plain, and twenty or thirty soldiers with the banner of the Wu army shouted and drove the ox carts. At the front of the procession was a luxurious carriage, on which Yun Xiao sat with the seal of the Marquis of Changyi in his hand.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The sergeant in front of the gate of the military village asked loudly.
"Hurry up, this is the frame of the Marquis of Changyi. Dare to stand in the way, watch out for your dogs. ”
The old fisherman's language has Wu Yin, and the momentum of the house sparrow has been fully learned by his old man.
"But there is a survey of the Chinese army battalion, and there is no survey of how to repay my general."
The sergeant guarding the door was a little embarrassed.
"Bastard, you actually dare to block the frame of the Hou Ye, someone is coming, ......"
"Slowly, slowly."
Yun Xiao poked his head out of the carriage arrogantly and took a breath of the slightly moist air of spring.
"Don't be embarrassed for them, it's not easy to blame yourself and point to the bottom. This is given to them, and their generals naturally understand when they see it. ”
Yun Xiao said and handed the small seal in his hand to the old fisherman, who took it with respectful hands.
"My marquis has pity on you, don't hurry up and return to your general. The Marquis of Changyi was ordered by King Wu to come to reward the soldiers. The ox cart behind is full of wine and meat for you, you gang of Qiu Ba good creation. ”
The old fisherman looked like his nostrils were facing the sky, this is right, this is the momentum that the Hou of Changyi should have.
The soldier guarding the door looked at the approachable Hou Ye gratefully, gave a standard military salute, and ran to the general's military tent with tears in his eyes. He didn't forget to preach the goodness of the marquis outside the door to the robes, and not to make it difficult for them.
After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, a general with a helmet and armor came out.
"I've seen the Marquis of Changyi in Xianing Yixi."
Ning Yixi knelt on the ground and presented the seal of the Marquis of Changyi with both hands.
"General Ning, get up, you don't have to do this salute when you are heavy."
Yun Xiao stepped forward and helped Ning Yixi with both hands.
"I don't know what happened to Master Hou?"
Ning Yixi saw Yun Xiao suspiciously, he had heard that this Marquis of Changyi was King Wu's most beloved grandson, and he didn't dare to slack off.
"According to the order of King Wu, the army has been working hard day after day. Wine and food are specially rewarded, you quickly arrange for the soldiers to unload the truck, and I will rush to other camps. ”
"No, thank you for the reward of King Wu. Master Hou is hard, please enter the tent to rest, and his subordinates will arrange for people to unload the car. Ning Yixi was very happy, at least King Wu had not forgotten himself, and had sent his grandson to work with the army.
After entering the military tent, Ning Yixi sat on the main seat with Yun Xiao. Sit on your own side and accompany you.
"General Ning, what is the number of personnel in your battalion?"
"Back to the Hou Ye, there are a total of 1,083 subordinate posts. Three hundred people escorted the ordnance to Suiyang, and now there are still 783 personnel in the battalion. ”
"This Dai Yu scolded me again. Saying that your post here is 1,0100, it hurts me to bring out so much. ”
Ning Yixi heard Yun Xiao say Dai Yu's name, and was even more convinced that the young man in front of him was the Marquis of Changyi. Hurriedly said: "Master Hou, according to the itinerary, the three hundred soldiers can return to the camp tomorrow, can the last general lead it?" ”
"Grandpa explained that it was going to be distributed to every soldier, and you want me to disobey the military order?" Yun Xiao looked embarrassed, his eyes staring at Ning Yixi.
"The Last Will Don't Dare"
Ning Yixi hurriedly lowered his head, but he didn't dare to offend this most beloved grandson of King Wu.
"Well, since the three hundred didn't come back. Then you will take it for you, and I will rush to the next camp. But those who are in the camp must come and collect them one by one, and they must not take it pretendically. Half a pound of meat and a jar of wine per person, and the impostor will be beheaded. ”
"No"
The soldiers lined up with a smile to receive the food and drink, the fragrant bacon exuded an attractive fragrance, and the yellow rice wine was even more fragrant. Some impatient soldiers cut a small piece of meat and put it in their mouths, adding a lot of salt. This is a rare delicacy in poor families, and these soldiers are all recruited soldiers. Ben is an honest farmer, muttering about the kindness of King Wu and Hou Ye, and the bacon has entered his stomach.
It was noisy until noon, and the wine and meat were distributed. Yun Xiao generously handed over all the remaining wine and meat to Ning Yixi, which made Ning Yixi grateful. set up a banquet to entertain Hou Ye, and during the banquet, Hou Ye took out the Yun family steamed wine that was said to be from Chang'an.
Ning Yixi looked at Yun Xiao suspiciously, took a sip, and then picked up the cup.
After taking a sip, my eyes lit up. Rice wine, which I thought was superior, was suddenly relegated to moromi.
"It's all thanks to the blessing of Hou Ye, if it weren't for Hou Ye's death, he wouldn't know that there was such a good wine in the world."
"Since General Ning likes it, the housekeeper will leave two altars for General Ning when he leaves in a while."
Ning Yixi was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. This meal is a pleasure for the guests and hosts.
Before leaving, Hou Ye's housekeeper also personally handed over Ning Yixi's two jars of Yun family's steamed wine. It made Ning Yixi feel grateful for the kindness of the marquis for a long time.
Yun Xiao took the empty ox cart and left the military village. Ning Yixi personally escorted him for ten miles before saying goodbye.
"Moment, I'll see you. Few people drank the wine, but many of them ate the bacon when they received the meat. It is estimated that there will be a seizure tonight, and they know that they will not drink lightly. ”
"The army is not allowed to drink alcohol, this is an old military rule, they dare not violate it, so I didn't let you add croton to the wine. Meat is not among them, although the meat effect of croton boiled meat is not to kill people, but it is still okay to pull them with soft hands and soft feet. Let them pull half a night first, and let's do it on the third watch. The number of people was smaller than expected, and 300 people went to the Wu Army to deliver ordnance. By the way, the steamed wine is ......"
In the evening, Ning Yixi's camp boiled pots.
Under the walled city, there are squatting soldiers with sad faces, and the sound of oops** is endless. At this time, the barracks were not like clouds, and the camps were equipped with toilets, and the soldiers here were all in the field to find a random place to solve the problem. Only the general level has a net bucket available, and Ning Yixi is sitting on the net bucket now.
A pair of eyebrows were about to twist into a ball, and he kept cursing Yun Xiao in his heart.
It must have been this little marquis who made stinky meat and exchanged it for the good meat that should have been distributed to us. I said how could I be so generous, and give me all the rest of the wine and meat. It turns out that this wine and meat are all stinky, grandma's. The pro-soldiers covered their noses and took the clean bucket, and Ning Yixi was supported by two pro-soldiers and fell on the couch.
The heroes can't stand the three bubbles, and now more than half of the soldiers in the barracks can't stand up. Some people who have hemorrhoids are worse than death, and even if they rest, they only dare to lie down and dare not lie down.
The barracks were full of complaints cursing King Wu and the damned Marquis, and even the soldiers on the beacon had to find a place to facilitate it from time to time. The entire barracks stinked for a while, and the spring breeze blew and smelled for ten miles.
The soldiers walked in circles like jumping circles, ready to step on the mines excreted by the robes. There was no place for people to squat under the walled city, and the soldiers standing on the walled wall paused to pull on the wall. Often pulling and pulling, there will be shouting and scolding, and occasionally bows, arrows, and javelins will be shot.
In the dark, the buttocks of the white flowers are the most conspicuous, and there are many people on the wall who have been burst with chrysanthemums. The soldiers on the wall of the wall returned fire with rolling wood and thunder stones, and without waiting for Yunxiao to attack the wall, the soldiers in the wall almost took down the wall.
Ning Yixi supported himself on the wall and hit fifty boards each, which can be regarded as calming the dispute. The commotion of the whole military village did not stop until midnight.
Yun Xiao specially chose this moonless night, based on the experience of the last time. There is a background light of the camp as lighting, and the besieging Yunxiao side can easily see the soldiers on the wall. However, the people on the wall could not see the clouds in the darkness, and could only be shot like a target.
The soldiers who had been tossing for a day were already exhausted, and the torture of diarrhea had overdrawn their bodies. The soldiers on the walled city all nodded and snoozed with their weapons, and several large ladders were quietly carried under the wall.
The cloud ladder climbed up the wall, and the Hun men crept up with sabers in their hands.
The Hun man who went up to the wall saw Wu Jun and covered his mouth and stabbed him in the ribs like killing a sheep. The towers at the four corners were swept away, but they were not found. Yun Xiao felt that it was a miracle.
The goshawk climbed the beacon tower with fifteen Mo family disciples, and the bear stood guard below. The battle was brief, but the soldiers on the beacon still let out screams and almost lit the beacon.
The silent camp was in chaos, and Ning Yixi didn't have time to put on his armor, so he ran out shirtless.
