Chapter 3: The Mountain People (Part II)
Wang Shoutian said indifferently: "It's okay!"
Seeing that Wang Shoutian was leisurely and confident, He Zhong had to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and his eyes continued to lock on the mountain gate.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a moment, the door of the cottage was slowly pushed open, and a group of people greeted him from inside.
Walking in the front, in addition to He Qi, there is one more person.
This person is burly, with a big step, a thick beard, a coarse cloth clothes, revealing a fierce atmosphere, and behind, there is a group of mountain people in messy clothes, but all of them have the momentum of being brave and good at fighting, just a glance, Wang Shoutian's heart moved.
Sure enough, it is not for nothing that Li Chengye can accept these mountain people.
"Goro, this is Lord Wang!" Walking closer, He Qi and He Wulang made an introduction.
"Gorou has seen Lord Wang, welcome the late, please forgive the sin!" The man who walked over with He Qi walked up to Wang Shoutian with a smile on his face, clasped his hands into fists, and said.
Wang Shoutian looked at him carefully as soon as he appeared.
He didn't know how to look, he could only look at the qi, only to see that this person was a cloud of gray qi, faintly with hundreds of roots, condensed into a small group, and in the middle of a red and yellow natal qi, standing upright.
If you think about it in your heart, it turns out that you don't necessarily have to be an official to have this anger.
As long as you can gather people, there is also a concentration of clouds, but the atmosphere of the mountain people is gray, not the white of the people!
"Master He Zhai doesn't have to be polite, we people came to bother, it should be us to say forgiveness. Wang Shoutian also bowed his hand and said with a smile, now in full view of everyone, there is no point in arranging the score, and it is not too late to say it inside.
was a little surprised by Wang Shoutian's response, and He Wulang's eyes lit up: "How come, the arrival of distinguished guests, it's too late for us to welcome!"
His eyes swept across the soldiers, and he did not stay on He Zhong, but fell on the eleven tooth soldiers, especially Zhang Yi, who was the leader, and his eyelids jumped, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
However, in the cottage, there are hundreds of warriors, but they are not afraid of these dozen strong soldiers, He Wulang said, and personally let Wang Shoutian and his party in.
When I arrived at the front of a large house in the middle of the cottage, it was basically made of stones, which was very strong.
Wang Shoutian came back and instructed Zhang Yi: "You just wait outside and rest." ”
"Yes. Zhang Yi responded and gave an order, and in a moment, the stone steps outside the mansion were full of soldiers, who were either standing against the stone wall or squatting on the stone steps, all looking exhausted.
He Wulang swept his eyes and ordered: "Spread fur for everyone, light a fire in the middle, and send some food!"
"Yes, Goro!" responded to the mountain people.
When I went to the mansion, there were not many people inside, so five personal soldiers followed.
In the hall, the beams and columns are criss-crossed, exposed, and very clumsy.
After a few resignations, He Wulang sat in the main seat again, while Wang Shoutian sat in the first guest seat, and below were several of their own soldiers.
He Wulang looked at it, waited for the mountain people to serve coarse tea, and said to the guests with some apologies: "The places where the mountain people live are a little simple, I hope the guests will not dislike it." ”
"Where, the cottage is strong, the homestead is solid, and it can shelter the people, and it is very orderly!" Wang Shoutian took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "Finely carved, at this time it is just a small road." ”
Wang Shoutian's words made He Wulang feel very comfortable, he smiled happily, and said: "I don't know what Lord Wang is here, if you stay temporarily, just stay for a while." ”
"Naturally, there is something to do, if you just avoid it, the county seat is always much more convenient. Wang Shoutian took another sip of tea and said to his own soldiers: "He Zhong, you go down and rest!"
He Zhong hesitated for a moment, and responded: "No!"
When the soldiers went down, He Wulang also said to his people: "You guys go down too!"
The mountain people took one look and retreated.
The hall was silent, except for the sound of Wang Shoutian drinking tea.
There was a voice in the distance, occasionally with the sound of the armor vibrating.
He Wulang asked: "I don't know what Lord Wang wants to talk about with Wulang when he avoids left and right?"
The young man in front of him was calm and relaxed, and He Wulang really couldn't see through it, but this kind of leisurely and complacent demeanor also made him have a kind of envy - this is the demeanor of the children of the official family.
"Lord He Zhai, I came this time to hope that you will lead the mountain people out of the army and work together for a great cause. Wang Shoutian said calmly.
Hearing Wang Shoutian's words, He Wulang almost laughed.
This young man wouldn't think that he would send troops under such circumstances, right?
At the beginning, He Qi and the others joined the feudal town, but because they felt that this war was profitable, after all, there were 1,500 people in the capital at that time, and 800 people in half of the enemy army, so they thought that they would win the victory.
Not wanting a reversal on the battlefield, Lu Yan was killed, his army was defeated, and the other side defeated 1,500 with 800.
Under such circumstances, how could the mountain people send troops to seek death?
I thought that this Wang Shoutian was a smart person, but I didn't want to ...... Thinking like this, his eyes swept over, and he saw that the young man looked calm, and even had a trace of grace, and he didn't feel that he was ignorant.
After thinking for a while, He Wulang replied very embarrassed: "Lord Wang, it's not that Gorou refuses to help with this, but the people in the mountains really don't know anything else except for all kinds of land and hunting, and if they really send troops, they can't solve any big problems, please don't joke about it." ”
"I'm not kidding...... Master He, what do you think will happen if the war continues?" Wang Shoutian smiled and said.
Wang Shoutian's attitude made He Wulang hesitate for a moment and asked, "How do you say this?"
"Eighteen counties in the three states of Shudi, my town lives in Wenyang County, there are four counties and one prefecture, the enemy town occupies Changding County, only one prefecture and three counties, this battle, although our side lost, but did not shake the fundamentals, is it, He Zhai Lord really thinks that the marshal will let it go? Let it occupy important places?" Wang Shoutian sneered and said: "And, look at the situation, the enemy army is here, but half of the troops, even if it wins, it is difficult to take advantage of the victory to attack, if you can't occupy my land, even if you win, it is not profitable, and it is not beneficial to the military." ”
"Changding Town can increase troops. He Wulang said in a muffled voice.
Moreover, now that the enemy's forces are taking advantage of the victory and plundering, scattered in several places, not to mention that the commander sent a large army, even if our side copes with it properly, we can also take out one or two camps in one fell swoop and force them to retreat!" Wang Shoutian said, seeing He Wulang pondering, knowing that he had moved this heart, and said: "This battle is just a battle of fur, and it does not hurt each other, but for us, it is an opportunity to become a meritorious official. If you don't take advantage of this time to make a move, and wait for the army sent by the marshal to destroy or force back the enemy army, how long will He Zhai wait for the next opportunity?"
"If you want to show your ambitions, just have the talent and wait, and don't want to take risks, but you can't do it!" Speaking of this, seeing that He Wulang was still a little hesitant, Wang Shoutian chuckled: "If the owner of He Zhai thinks that my official position is humble and not worthy of trust, the official position of the handsome is enough?"
"Dashuai?" In fact, Wang Shoutian's words just now really moved He Wulang, but as Wang Shoutian said, a team is not enough for him to put the cottage and his own fate on the tablet.
Hearing Wang Shoutian mention the festival envoy, He Wulang's heart suddenly moved, now the towns are lined up, the court only has influence and no control, the festival envoy is a prince, if there is really a festival to make attention, then ......
However, does the person in front of him really have anything to do with the festival envoys?
According to He Qi, Dashuai and this person have the same surname, but the same surname alone is not enough, after all, there are thousands of people with the same surname in a big family.
Looking at He Wulang's expression, Wang Shoutian knew in his heart and smiled: "I'll show Master He Zhai something." ”
As he spoke, he opened a small bag that had been tightly tied around his waist, took out a thing, raised it in front of He Wulang, and said: "This is the silver feather sword talisman given to me by the big handsome, when it is critical, you can temporarily control the soldiers and horses, and naturally you also have the right to recruit, He Zhai is subjective, and you can decide in a word!"
Silver Feather Sword Talisman?
He Wulang took it, looked at the sword talisman carefully, and there was a silver light in his eyes.
This thing seems to be a short sword, but it uses a feather as a gauntlet, and the word "Ling" is engraved on it.
After reading it several times, although it is a mountain person, it can also be seen that this kind of thing is exquisite in workmanship and does not look like a forgery, not to mention, forging this kind of thing is a big crime of raiding the house and destroying the door, and he doesn't think that Wang Shoutian dares to deceive himself with a fake.
Wang Shoutian has this token, and he must be the same clan that the festival makes pay attention to.
After weighing it in his heart, as soon as he heard Wang Shoutian finish speaking, he suddenly made up his mind in his heart.
"Lord Wang, doing things for the handsome should have been, besides, I believe in Lord Wang!" He Wulang's face changed, and he handed over the silver feather sword talisman respectfully.
"So what are we doing now?"
"Now the enemy is scattered everywhere, there are only a few hundred people in the headquarters, the mountain people are good at the wild surprise attack, it is better to gather troops with me, attack it, if you can capture it in one fell swoop, the enemy soldiers will be defeated, with this merit, you can also remove the identity of the mountain people, become a military general - if it is successful, I will protect you as the team!"
"Surprise attack headquarters, this little official really has a big appetite!" He Wulang was shocked when he heard this, but when he heard the promise, his heart was pounding again.
Now there are only four capitals in the town, 6,000 people, and the team is already extraordinary, equivalent to the deputy director of the public security bureau of a county on the earth.
And the team is already from the official position of Jiupin, which belongs to the status of an official.
He Wulang thought about it hurriedly and said, "If Lord Wang can find out the camp, and it is a night attack, I will do it!"
"Then how many people can you draw?" Wang Shoutian asked with a sigh of relief.
"Don't hide it from your lordship, I can draw out three hundred people, all of whom are good shooters in the mountains!"
"With this force, it is enough, without further ado, rest tonight, tomorrow to send troops, tomorrow night to surprise attack...... We can't wait for the enemy to come up. Wang Shoutian said.
"No!" He Wulang responded, and this matter was decided.
