Chapter Eighty-Six: Tong Guan's Recruitment
"Exactly. I heard that this Deng Yun came less than three times, so he and his deployment killed several golden generals in a row, and ordinary soldiers were afraid that there were five or six hundred casualties! Fortunately, he was arrogant, he was still a little measured, and he didn't kill the result, otherwise he would have provoked a war between Song and Jin. According to the old Bodhisattva's opinion, should he send a group of Jing soldiers to capture him and his subordinates, and send them to the results of the battle? ”
Xu Tian said solemnly and quickly. When Tong Guan heard this, his face sank, his eyes became extremely bright, and he stared at Xu Tianyi tightly and asked, "Is this really true!?" Where did you know? ”
"Don't dare to hide it from the old Bodhisattva, my junior brother has always held a grudge against this Deng Yun, and he is eager for revenge, I am afraid that he has secretly contacted Huang Hong. This is what Huang Hongxiu reported to my junior brother! Xu Tianyi replied respectfully.
When Tong Guan heard this, he asked anxiously, "Where is your junior brother?" ”
"Just waiting outside the tent? Can the old Bodhisattva announce his entry into the account for questioning? As soon as Xu Tian's words fell, Tong Guan quickly summoned him. After Xu Tian bowed, he went out of the account.
After a while, Xu Tianyi led Yuan Jie into the account. In front of Tong Guan, Yuan Jie did not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest, and after the salute, he took out the letter according to Tong Guan's instructions and handed it to Xu Tianyi, who then handed it to Tong Guan. Tong Guan took the letter and read it quickly. Suddenly, Tong Guan actually let out a burst of joy daxiao, and said: "hahahaha~~!! Good! Good!! Good!!! Judging by the urgency of this letter, this matter is by no means false!! It's rare that my Great Song has another strong general, and this is exactly what the old man uses!! ”
Xu Tianyi and Yuan Jie couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this. Of course, Xu Tianyi has always been old and soon returned to normal. But Yuan Jie couldn't bear it, and asked quickly: "Old Bodhisattva, this Deng Yun has always been against you, not only harming my father's life!" ”
Yuan Jie's heart was tormented like a thousand things, and he couldn't help but look a little presumptuous, Xu Tianyi hurriedly pulled Yuan Jie's arm and pulled him back. Yuan Jie was pulled by Xu Tianyi one by one, and when he saw Tong Guan laughing again, he immediately stopped.
I saw Tong Guan with a kind smile on his face, and said slowly: "Young people, it is inevitable that they will be strong and make some mistakes. Look at the old man, I don't know how many big mistakes he has committed in this life, who in the world does not hate the old man and scolds the old man as a big thief! There are countless enemies who want to take the life of the old man. If the old man cares, he wants to kill them all, and he doesn't know how to kill them until the Year of the Monkey? Those who achieve great things should focus on the overall situation, and the so-called small ones will make big plans.
This young man named Deng Yun has such a high skill, it seems that he has won the true inheritance of Zhou Dong, if he can be used by the old man, he will help the old man's great cause! ”
When Yuan Jie heard this, he trembled and was talking. Xu Tianyi was afraid that he would not know the sense of proportion and offend Tong Guan, so he hurriedly scrambled to say: "What the old Bodhisattva said is reasonable. It's just that I'm afraid that this Deng Yun is like his teacher, he doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't eat and drink when he toasts! ”
When Tong Guan heard this, his face suddenly changed, the kindness on his face was gone, it was all ruthless, his eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! If this is the case, he and his deployments will be useless, and after using them, they will be cut down and eradicated!! ”
Xu Tianyi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the old Bodhisattva has already thought about it?" ”
Tong Guan smiled coldly, held his white beard in his hand, and nodded in response: "Hmm." It is rare that these barbarians are so good, and the court formed this death squad for the purpose of fighting. Now, Na Guo Yaoshi is still unwilling to surrender to the old man, and the old man plans to send this death squad to fight him to the death, if he can deter him, it will naturally be good. Thinking that this Guo Yaoshi has always been cunning, he will not dare to be the enemy of the old man again, and then he will lead the army to vote according to the old man's previous jihua! If not, these barbarians will not be a pity to die. ”
"The old Bodhisattva's plan is really wonderful! The villain admires it very much!! Xu Tian was happy and respectful. Yuan Jie was also ecstatic when he heard this, and he couldn't stop thanking him.
"Huh. Don't be happy too soon, you two. In order to become a hero and dominate the industry, when the old man officially employs people, if these barbarians can really achieve great things, and they are willing to surrender to the old man, you two should release their previous suspicions with them and work together for the old man to be loyal. When the old man is successful, he will not treat you two badly, and he will not be able to pay tribute to the marquis!
There is also Yuan Jie, your father, who hopes that you can become a lieutenant general all your life, and when you achieve fame, your father will be able to look down on him under Jiuquan. When it comes to revenge, you will remember less, the husband stands up to the heavens and the earth, and everything should be the first to establish a meritorious name! Listening to Tong Guan's words, he is also a heroic figure, and he is the first to speak. When Yuan Jie heard this, his face changed continuously, and he couldn't help but think of what his father said to him, which also taught him to make meritorious service first, and then seek revenge. Thinking of this, Yuan Jie finally suppressed his hatred and said yes.
"Alright. You two go out first. Tianyi, you call all the generals in the army for the old man, and the old man still has important matters to discuss with them. ”
Xu Tian said yes, and then retreated with Yuan Jie. Tong Guan was alone in the tent, his face was complicated, his eyes were a little embarrassed, and he sighed silently: "Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong." If you could have known the times and taken refuge in me, why would I have to wait until now!? With your ability, you clearly have a great future, but you have to be stubborn, and finally end up ruined!! I hope you're not as pedantic as you!! ”
After a stick of incense, all the generals in the army came, and Tong Guan ordered everyone to sit on the table. After a while, everyone sat down. Tong Guan first said what the death squad was doing, and everyone was shocked when they heard it, only one person on the right side of the tail seat, with a calm face, and applauded.
Tong Guanding looked at it, only to see that the man looked burly and majestic, the body was stunning, the robe seemed to be unable to wrap the muscles that broke out, the tiger eyes were vigorous, a pair of thick eyebrows like a coiling dragon, at a glance, you would know that it was an extraordinary person, a thing in the pool!
"Huh. It seems that Shizhong and the old man also praised this group of bloody young men at a glance. It's really the same thing that heroes see! Tong Guan smiled, but there was a bit of sharpness in his eyes. This person is Han Shizhong, who is called 'the first among people' by the Western Xia people!
Han Shizhong's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of disgust between his eyebrows, but he still bowed his hand and didn't dare to speak. The generals in the banquet, hearing Tong Guan's words, immediately praised these soldiers of the death squad without hesitation.
At this moment, a middle-aged veteran who was over fifty or sixty years old in the first seat on the left seat had a sinking face, and shouted angrily: "The last general thinks that these barbarians are really reckless, and now that the Song and Jin alliances are attacking Liao, seeing that the Liao State is about to fall, the sixteen states of Yanyun are at their fingertips." At such a critical moment, these barbarians went to provoke the Jin people, and also captured the Jin Xiang Sagai child, if there is a case, it is difficult to escape the crime of death!! ”
"Slow! Liu Dutong's words are really unfair! What is the crime of these death squad sergeants fighting for their country and forgetting their lives!? What's more, you didn't listen to what Mrs. Tong said, it was clearly these golden people who provoked first! Moreover, the results of the battle are even more notorious, I don't know how much military rations were taken from my Great Song Dynasty, and how many sons of my Great Song Dynasty were killed! The actions of these death squad sergeants should be applauded by everyone and applauded! If our army has this blood, how dare the Jin people invade repeatedly!? ”
Han Shizhong suddenly got up suddenly, and shouted sonorously, like a bell, shaking the entire big tent as if it were shaking. And the person in the first seat on the left is the commander of the Song army, Liu Yanqing.
"Han Shizhong, what is your identity, dare to talk to me like this!! Retire!! Liu Yanqing is the second-in-command in the army except for Tong Guan, he will not show weakness, he stood up, his eyes widened, but he showed a bit of fierceness, and opened his mouth to shout.
Han Shizhong's face changed, his face was calm, but he didn't speak anymore, and his eyes were full of unyielding. Liu Yanqing's eyes widened, and he was unforgiving, and shouted: "What!?" Don't you dare to flout military discipline and commit the following crimes!? ”
"Liu Dutong, that's enough. Shizhong has always been a strong and decent person, and at this time, there is no malice, how can you be a general. Moreover, what he said was not entirely unreasonable. Now that Jin Bing is bullying me, Song Bing's style is becoming more and more rampant, these bloody sons can give him a head-on blow, and they can also make Jin Bing rein in. What's more, now that the overall situation has been decided, the gold lord A Gu is a hero, and he will never tear his face with my Song army for this trivial matter, and give up this great opportunity to annihilate the Liao State. You can rest assured. ”
Tong Guan waved his hand and said calmly with a light smile. When Liu Yanqing heard this, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he turned around and said: "The last general is just afraid that the Jin people will hold a grudge against this matter, and when the Liao State is destroyed, the account will be settled after the autumn!" ”
"Huh. The ambition of the golden man and the wolf, everyone in the world knows, when the Liao is destroyed, and there are a few years of recuperation, he will come to commit the Song Dynasty! Now the urgent thing is to recapture the land of Yanyun first, and the Central Plains can use the two borders of Hebei and Yanyun as barriers, and these two places can become horns, and they will definitely be able to resist the crimes committed by the Jin people. It turns out that Song and Jin will go to war sooner or later, so why should we show weakness everywhere? Tong Guan smiled with his beard, this remark is quite reasonable, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, how can he be as mediocre and incompetent as rumored?
"Huh? The old thing said it beautifully, but in fact, he secretly regarded the land of Yanyun as a thing in his pocket! Shameless! Liu Yanqing secretly paid in his heart, but on the surface, he looked happy and convinced, nodded his head, and resigned himself to his seat. And Han Shizhong also sat back in his seat under Tong Guan's eyes, and then he was silent, as if he was thinking.
At this time, Tong Guan looked around the two seats, and then smiled again: "These young people are all good, all heroes. Now here in Yanshan, the war is difficult to lift. The old man Yu recruited this death squad to break the current deadlock, what do you think? ”
The role of the imperial court in forming this death squad, all the generals at the table knew it, and they all thought that it was not a pity for these barbarians to die, and they all agreed. Only Han Shizhong did not say a word. Tong Guan couldn't help but look over and said with a smile: "I don't know what Shizhong thinks?" Although. ”
When Han Shizhong heard this, he stood up with his mighty body and said, "The last general is not talented." I am willing to lead my subordinates to deploy and serve the country together with these death squads! ”
"Oh!? If Shizhong goes, this time he will definitely be able to succeed!! The old man can rest easy!! When Tong Guan heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, and he was extremely clear about Han Shizhong's skills. It's just that Han Shizhong is loyal to the imperial court, and he seems to be loyal and honest, but he is actually extremely smart and unfathomable.
