Chapter 137: Discussing Battle Exploits
This night, Zhu Youzhen slept very soundly and sweetly.
After all, he hadn't slept well for three days and two nights, almost catching up with the record of fighting all night in an Internet café in his previous life. But in the past, it was playing, and when you were tired of playing, you could squint for a while at any time, and there was a lady who could do business and send flatbread eggs and coke directly to the seat. In addition to going to the toilet, there is almost no need to move the nest, not to mention how cool it is.
And this time it's really a real game. He is worried all the time, because the battlefield is the most unpredictable, don't look at you tossing and turning, who knows the next second, will a cold arrow shoot over and nail a hole in your head?
It wasn't until he and Qi Meifeng worked together with Qi Meifeng to command the soldiers outside the city to dig a big deep pit and put all the corpses into the ground for safety, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, that Zhu Youzhen really felt that this nightmarish experience had indeed become a thing of the past.
Back at the General's Mansion, Zhu Youzhen was extremely tired. But Bao Yulian specially told him to "detoxify" tonight, because he had not taken care of "detoxification" for several days.
Zhu Youzhen naturally knew the meaning of "detoxification", but he didn't dare to be sloppy. After closing the door and untying his clothes, while he was "detoxifying", several fantasy objects involuntarily popped up in his mind. One moment it was Bao Yulian, one moment it was Qi Meifeng, and another moment it was the unknown alien girl. But later, the image of his wife Rui'er returned to his heart.
How is she doing in Beijing? Without her own company, she is alone in the empty boudoir, I don't know how lonely she is? Wei Zhongxian repeatedly harmed himself, and Rui'er was also seriously injured to protect herself. Now that she is not around, she is a woman, how can she deal with all kinds of dangers?
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen was not interested, and he didn't know whether the "poison" was discharged or not, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long later, the door was slammed open, and a rough voice said angrily: "Your Highness, it is now three poles in the morning, and the soldiers will only wait for His Highness to get up, and then immediately pull out!" ”
Zhu Youzhen was so frightened that he sat up from the bed and saw that it was Man Gui!
Behind Man Gui, a little eunuch covered his high swollen cheeks and cried aggrievedly: "Lord Wang! General Man Gui just said that there was an urgent military situation, and he had to ask to see the prince immediately. The servant told him that the prince had not gotten up yet, and asked him to come back in half an hour. But General Mangui was anxious when he heard it, and he had to break in, but the minions really couldn't stop him! He also slapped the minion! ”
At this moment, Man Gui was draped all over his body, his eyes were blazing, and he didn't pay attention to the crying little eunuch, only staring at the "ruins" that Zhu Youzhen didn't have time to deal with, and frowned at the two thick eyebrows: "Your Highness is really, obviously there are women around you, and you call them to come to bed, why do you still do such a thing to dispel fatigue?" ”
Zhu Youzhen was extremely embarrassed, and said timidly: "What, Lord General Soldier, you misunderstood!" This king is detoxifying, detoxifying! What time is it? Where are you going? ”
Man Gui said loudly: "Your Highness, it's three quarters now!" At last night's banquet, didn't the last general ask His Highness to return to Jizhou early this morning and break the body of Tu Zhong, the eunuch who couldn't be saved? Has Your Highness forgotten? ”
When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and suddenly his sleepiness disappeared!
He carefully recalled what happened last night, and vaguely remembered that at the banquet, Man Gui seemed to have said something like "Kill back to Jizhou tomorrow and break Tu Zhong's body into ten thousand pieces" or something like that.
At that time, he thought that Man Gui was just talking nonsense after drinking, and he didn't take it seriously, but just hummed and dealt with a few words.
Unexpectedly, although Man Gui was drunk, his mind was very sober, he really wanted to go back to Jizhou!
Zhu Youzhen's head immediately sweated, and he thought that this man Gui's courage was really too great! Although his move can be regarded as a grievance for himself, Jizhou is also an important town of the imperial court, how can he say that he will fight?
Especially listening to Man Gui's tone, it seems that the attack on Jizhou is still his own approval. If you really capture Jizhou today and kill Tu Zhong, the court will investigate it in the future, and most of this account will be counted on your own head!
He hurriedly racked his brains and desperately thought of an idea, so that Man Gui could dispel this bold idea.
Even if this thing's brain turns quickly, Zhu Youzhen rolled his eyes, and said with a fake smile: "The chief soldier is as jealous as hatred, and he will do what he says, and this king admires it!" However, at present, the great enemy, especially the Duoyan Division, has just been defeated, and the enemy situation is unknown. I heard that there are still many passes in the north of Zunhua City, so it's not too late for us to recover those passes first, and then settle accounts with Tu Zhong! ”
Man Gui listened to it but smiled slightly: "Your Highness, please rest assured!" At the end of last night, the general had sent sentinels to various passes to investigate, and the Duoyan Department had indeed withdrawn from the gates. Those soldiers who were originally guarding the pass, I don't know who sent them, but they all withdrew from the pass and disappeared. The last general has made arrangements and ordered the defenders to guard the pass for the time being. I expect that those who have been deceitful of the new defeat will flee far away, and will not come back. Take advantage of this time to attack Jizhou, and get rid of the traitor first! ”
Zhu Youzhen saw that Man Gui was very stubborn, and when he was sweating profusely, he suddenly heard someone outside the door report that the superintendent Sun Chengzong had arrived with 5,000 cavalry.
Zhu Youzhen was amnesty, thinking that he could be regarded as having found an organization, and hurriedly led Man Gui and Qi Meifeng and others out of the city.
Sun Chengzong received an urgent report from the Qi family's army, so he led the army to Zunhua in a hurry. It turned out that Shi Biao sent two sentry spies that day, one was closed under the city of Jizhou, and the other was very smooth, chasing east overnight, but caught up with Sun Chengzong's Chinese army in half a day.
When Sun Chengzong heard that the Duoyan tribe had suddenly rebelled, he trapped the king of Xin, Zhu Youzhen, in Zunhua City, and was immediately frightened. You must know that Zhu Youzhen is the beloved brother of today's saint, and this time he is on behalf of the Son of Heaven. If there is really a bad pool, no matter how old his qualifications are, no matter how deep his foundation is, his head is not enough to be cut off!
So Sun Chengzong immediately led the cavalry of the Chinese army and rushed to Zunhua City with stars and moons, and he didn't even bother to drink saliva on the way. At this time, seeing that Zhu Youzhen was safe and sound, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, bowed down to the ground and said: "The minister is incompetent, so that His Highness is frightened!" ”
Zhu Youzhen saw that the old man had tears in his eyes, and there was a thick layer of ice stubble on his gray beard, obviously he was extremely concerned about himself, and he was also moved in his heart, and he hurriedly smiled and picked up Sun Chengzong and said: "Why should the Inspector be polite, isn't this king good!" That 'big scrotum' wanted the king's head, but let the king smash one of his eyes! ”
"What 'big scrotum'?" Sun Chengzong is a contemporary Confucian, an official resident of Dongge University, who has never heard this kind of word on weekdays, and immediately blushed with anger! He thought to himself that he had heard that this king of faith was unlearned and stubborn, and when he saw it today, it was indeed so! How can such filthy words be said in public, and still be complacent!
Man Gui laughed, and while leading Sun Chengzong into the city, he introduced him to the defense of Zunhua. Of course, only the second half of these experiences was experienced by him, and as for the first half, and even the earlier encounter with bandits in the mountains, he listened to Zhu Youzhen at the banquet last night.
He also felt that this letter king Zhu Youzhen was quite different from other princes, not only did he not live in the palace, but he was also approachable and improper. What's even more rare is that he never speaks in a pretentious tone, and he scolds people very happily, and he is very angry with himself.
Therefore, Man Gui vigorously said good things for Zhu Youzhen, and boasted that he was wise and martial, and bravely crowned the three armies, and Zhu Youzhen had goosebumps when he heard it.
Sun Chengzong listened carefully, and his face turned from cloudy to clear. In particular, when I heard that Zhu Youzhen personally killed the youngest son of the victim Lemi, Sukhbaru, the wounded Le, and the bandit leader Xiao Laodiao, and pioneered the tactics of opening holes in the city wall and firing artillery flats, I couldn't help but praise Zhu Youzhen again and again, and looked at Zhu Youzhen with admiration!
He thought to himself that this king of faith was really extraordinary, quite the style of Taizu and Chengzu! Thinking that I am the Taizu, didn't I also start from the recklessness and didn't know a single big character? If His Royal Highness King Shin has more training, he may not be able to sweep through the universe like his ancestors and shock the world!
Therefore, when he arrived at the General's Mansion, Sun Chengzong first gathered the generals of various armies to evaluate the merits and punishments of the Zunhua Defense War.
He said sincerely: "His Royal Highness King Xin not only killed and wounded the leader of the thieves with his own hands, but also skillfully used artillery to defend the lonely city. If there is no morale boost from His Highness, I am afraid that Zunhua has turned into powder! The students thought that the first merit of this battle should be to believe in His Royal Highness the King! ”
Sun Chengzong's statement, other generals naturally echoed it. Only Man Gui and Qi Meifeng sincerely agreed, and the response was also extremely loud.
was praised by everyone, and this product was embarrassed, scratched his head for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "This is what I should do, and the credit still belongs to the comrades!" ”
Although everyone heard it inexplicably, they also knew that he had always been absurd and often had amazing words, so they did not delve into it.
Sun Chengzong said: "Even so, His Royal Highness is on behalf of the Son of Heaven, His Royal Highness is the king, and we are the ministers, how can there be a reason for the ministers to discuss the merits of the king?" The students had no choice but to show the Holy God according to the truth, and asked the Holy Lord to issue a decree and reward His Highness. ”
Next, he commented on everyone's work one by one. Man Gui was really promoted to the chief soldier because of his meritorious service in saving the driver, and the word "deputy" that had been worn for many years was removed. And Qi Meifeng has always been close to Zhu Youzhen's side for personal protection, and has made great contributions, and has been directly promoted from a thousand households to a general, and has become the same level as his father Qi Xianzong! The rest of the generals, such as Shi Biao, also have rewards. Sun Chengzong also made it clear that for those who have made outstanding achievements in war like Man Gui and Qi Meifeng, he will also go to the imperial court and reward them with titles.
The rest of the generals who did not participate in the war were all envious, jealous and hateful. Especially seeing that Qi Meifeng is young and a woman, she has been promoted many levels in a row this time, and she feels indignant.
But Sun Chengzong, as a superintendent, has the right to act cheaply, which of course includes sealing officials. Therefore, they had to hold back their anger in secret, and muttered in their hearts: "Maybe this woman has a leg with His Royal Highness King Xin, and the Governor rewarded her in order to tie up with King Xin!" Forget it, you can't compare with others, unless you believe that the king is as good as Longyang! ”
