Qi Yuquan was a cheerful person. He accepted defeat in both games and did not call for formation again. Perhaps he understood that such a tough name as Dongchang Guard could not have been blown out. From the generals to the pawns, they were all chosen from a thousand. Fighting warriors who can't die, whether it's single combat or group fighting, fighting or killing, they are fearless, they are beyond the reach of others, and their own people can't be favored by them!
So much so that he gave up even though he didn't see any good results. It would be more embarrassing to lose face than to call for battle again.
After all, if you lose two games now, you can still yell at the opponent for using dirty tricks to win the game. If you lose too much, you won't have the confidence to curse.
Moreover, although Qi Yuquan lost the battle, he did not lose to others. Although he did not earn face, he won the hearts of the people. His subordinates all felt that this elder brother was upright and capable. If things really happened, you see, for a few messengers to go into battle in person to challenge the opponent, He was beaten without hesitation even if his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was not afraid at all when facing the world-famous Dongchang Guards. He was upright and upright, neither humble nor overbearing. He was really a flexible and flexible man!
Moreover, a gentleman's words are hard to catch up with. Since you have lost, then admit it. Don't you want to eat and drink? Go to my camp to take care of your food and drink.
When Lao Jiu heard this, he said, "Fuck you, you think I'm stupid for going to your camp to feel uncomfortable, let's pack up."
Qi Yuquan didn't want to do it anymore. He said he would take care of food and drink, but he didn't say he would take care of packing. Either you go eat or get out.
Hey, Lao Jiu's bad temper came up again. He and Hao Yaoqi cursed and provoked one after another. He said that he would do it again if he refused to accept it. Don't do this villain's behavior. It will be looked down upon. Qi Yuquan sneered. I'll blame you for your villain's behavior. Talking about villain behavior?
Lao Jiu blushed for a rare moment and continued to curse. Seeing the scorching sun getting hotter and hotter, two groups of more than a hundred people scolded each other until their mouths went dry. Zhu Chongsheng stepped forward to seek justice. After some wrangling, Qi Yuquan agreed to give away ten Sheep, that's all.
Lao Jiu and Hao Yaoqi led their troops to leave and headed straight for Jingzhou, cursing all the way: "You can earn ten sheep after a long day of fighting, what a loss."
"You old bastard, be satisfied. You beat that guy so hard that your skin was not broken, but I got a solid punch." Hao Yaoqi laughed and scolded him, but Lao Jiu disagreed: "What the hell are you doing? He's so strong and thick-skinned that it doesn't matter if he gets hit."
"Hey, don't call me Lao Jiu from now on. Change your name to Lao Liu." Hao waved his flag and smiled. Lao Jiu was startled: "Why, what do you mean?"
"I remember I heard the Governor scolding people by chance, saying that Yin is better than the sixth person! You said that you are so Yin, you are just like the sixth person." Hao Yaoqi said with a serious look on Lao Jiu's face and said, "You are so stupid. I was hit so hard by you that my bones hurt now. Please pay me the money for the decoction and medicine, which is ten taels of silver."
"Why don't you go and grab it?" Hao Yaoqi was furious.
"I'm not robbing you right now..."
Zhu Chongsheng was afraid that the two of them would bicker endlessly, so he quickly changed the topic: "Two generals, something is fishy."
"What?" Lao Jiu and Hao Yaoqi stopped bickering and stared at Zhu Chongsheng.
"Qi Yuquan let us pass so easily, don't you think something is wrong? Is Jingzhou really going to open its doors to welcome guests, or is it digging a hole ahead to wait for us?" Zhu Chongsheng was slightly worried.
Hao Yaoqi frowned and scratched his head: "I don't think it's that complicated. It's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. He knew he couldn't offend us but didn't want to be too cowardly, so he said a few words and let us go, saving his anger. Ma Jinzhong will follow them later."
"It's not that simple, isn't it?" Zhu Chongsheng frowned and looked into the distance, everything under the scorching sun was dejected.
"It's that simple." There was a sneer on Lao Jiu's face: "The Governor didn't say what he wanted us to do before we came, but obviously we are not here to fight Jingzhou. It's not that we are afraid or that we can't beat it. It's because the current situation is that we can't fight, and Jingzhou City Those people inside are not idiots. They know that we are not here to beat them, and we also know that if we beat them, it will be enough for them to drink a pot, so their current thoughts are not to cause trouble and not to be afraid of trouble!"
"So, you're talking nonsense, but I didn't hear the truth." Hao Yaoqi wiped the sweat from his face impatiently, and Lao Jiu let out a laugh: "So Qi Yuquan's words didn't lie to us. , Jingzhou’s current attitude is to welcome guests and attack wolves.”
Zhu Chongsheng was thoughtful and muttered: "Wuchang's 100,000-strong army can defeat Jingzhou, but the current situation does not allow it. And Jingzhou knows that we can't defeat them, so they don't tolerate us, but they don't dare to It's too provocative, that's why."
"No," Lao Jiu chuckled, and Zhu Chongsheng nodded slightly: "Now that I have said that, I have figured it out. Well, outsiders all say that General Nine is brave and foolhardy, but in fact he is one-sided..."
"Outsiders, who are you?" Lao Jiu glared at Hao Yaoqi: "You must be jealous of me."
Hao Yaoqi was upset and raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Fuck you, uncle, I'm jealous of you? I'm jealous of your ugliness..."
With the noise in his ears, Zhu Chongsheng raised his head to look at the dazzling sun, and then looked back.
Jianli is a small county under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou Prefecture. It was under the jurisdiction of Li Zicheng when he swept across Jingxiang a few years ago. Later, he had a falling out with Zuo Liangyu and was left alone for a time. Last year, Zuo Liangyu was ordered to attack Jingzhou to build momentum. It also made Jingzhou realize the importance of the surrounding frontier states and counties, and decisively sent troops to capture Jianli.
The county town is not big, but there are many troops stationed there, more than 2,000.
Just because this place belongs to the forefront of Jingzhou's power, and is bounded by Honghu Lake, which is dozens of miles to the east, Jingzhou to the west, and Zuo Liangyu to the east.
Of course, those who guard the border have always been fierce generals and soldiers. The guard in Jianli City is Hengliang Wang Tiechuan, one of the three gate gods under Ta Tianbao. He is unknown in official history, but he is a well-known figure in unofficial history.
The storm is about to come, and the news of Wuchang's 100,000-strong army marching westward has long swept through every corner of Jingzhou like thunder and wind, making people panic. Fortunately, the city of Jingzhou is not all trash. Someone has peeked into the eunuch's secrets. In order to stabilize people's hearts, a series of hospitality methods were formulated.
So when Huang Degong and Jia Waixiong led thousands of soldiers and horses to the outside of Jianli City, the people inside were not panicked, and even a little stern. Tiechuan sent people out of the city to ask: "What are you doing here?"
Huang Degong was a little confused. This was different from what he imagined. Shouldn't it be that they were so frightened that they stayed behind closed doors, or went out of the city to beg for mercy?
But, when people ask, you have to state your intention, but you can't say that I came to step in.
beg!
Jia Waixiong blurted out, and was immediately slapped on the back of the head by Huang Degong: "You are trying to feel superior by following Chang Yu to beg for food, you are so shameless..." After scolding Jia Waixiong, he shouted to the visitor: "Passing by here. , I'm thirsty, ask your leader to bring you some food and drink."
Tiechuan was very angry when he heard the report from his subordinates. First of all, the other party called him the leader, so he still treated him as a thief. Damn this, this is professional discrimination. Even after peace talks, he still didn't treat this party as one of his own. Secondly, if you want to eat and drink, you are fighting against the autumn wind. Who can you call to order? It’s just a matter of coming to my territory to show off your power. If you really think that you are a dish, and let me personally give you food and drink, are you worthy? Pooh!
However, in accordance with the wishes of the superiors not to hit the smiling man, Tiechuan still asked someone to give him three sheep and some drinks to kill him. But soon his subordinates reported in a hurry, and the man was furious, saying that he was giving away beggars, and even said that he was Baojiamen is Dongchangwei Black Panther Camp and Jingnan Bohuang Degong.
Tiechuan suddenly had a toothache. During this period, he only heard that Wuchang was sending troops. He thought that nine out of ten of them were Zuo Liangyu's old men. They all knew each other well and didn't feel much oppression. He also knew that the great eunuch had He might have come back because several Dongchang battalions under his command had appeared in the territory, but he didn't expect Huang Degong to come as well.
That's Huang Chuangzi!
This guy's toughness and brutality are well known to both the government and the public. Needless to say, in today's Ming Dynasty, no matter whether they are officers and soldiers, bandit soldiers or Qing soldiers, there is no one who doesn't know this guy, and they will feel pressure when they mention this guy.
Because he is not only capable of fighting, but also very brutal and unreasonable. He has a very quick temper and can do anything if he is provoked. Just like the upper echelons of Jingzhou are now convinced that the imperial court does not dare and will not really use troops against Jingzhou at this moment, and entering the country is just to show off their muscles to increase their presence, but no one dares to pat their chests to ensure that Huang Degong will not take action.
Because once this thing is taken advantage of, not many people can hold it down. If he doesn't entertain him well, he will really piss him off... Tiechuan felt a little panicked, and after much thought, he decided to go out of the city to receive this "distinguished guest" in person. ".
I thought that if I came forward in person, the other party would accept it and at least be polite on the surface, but when Huang Degong came up, he scolded him: "Three sheep, you are just giving away the beggars!"
Good guy, as expected, the boss didn’t say it. These people came here just to cause trouble. You can’t let them get used to you. The more you let them get used to you, the worse it will get on your face. Tiechuan felt furious in his heart, but he still had some sense. He couldn’t anger this guy if he didn’t let him get used to him. : "I didn't know before that it was Jingnan Bo who came to visit me. I apologize for not treating him well."
"Now that I know, I haven't seen you treat me well." Huang Degong rubbed his nose and raised his face. Tiechuan sighed in his heart. He was indeed an unreasonable and difficult master, but with a smile on his face: "Uncle Jingnan, please be patient." "As he said this, he waved, and a person behind him came over with a large plate. The plate was covered with a red cloth. Tiechuan stretched out his hand to uncover it, and it was shining yellow under the sun.
Huang Degong's lips curled up with disdain on his face: "That's it?"
Tiechuan was startled, raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Jingnan, are you too young?"
Huang Degong didn't even look at the yellow things: "Who are you looking down on? I'm just here to eat and drink, who are you disgusting with those yellow and smelly things of yours!"
Uh... Tiechuan was a little confused for a moment. Do you want food, drink, or gold and silver?
"There is plenty of food and drink. I will ask you to prepare wine and food..." Before Tiechuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Huang Degong: "Is Niu Wancai only this big-hearted? I came to his place as a guest and didn't even open the door." Let me in?"
Uh... Tiechuan was not the only one who was surprised this time. Hearing Huang Degong's words meant that he wanted to enter the city. The reason why he didn't invite Huang Degong to the city was because he was afraid that this guy would think too much, but he didn't expect... he would think more.
Of course, Jia Waixiong was also surprised. Entering the city was very risky! It is impossible for the other party to let you lead troops and horses into the city, but if you enter the city alone...hey, it is much more dangerous than the Hongmen Banquet. Your life or death depends on the other party's thoughts.
So he couldn't help but pull Huang Degong from behind: "Uncle..."
As he walked away, Huang Degong cursed him in a low voice, "Coward!"
"Is Uncle Jingnan going to the city?" Tiechuan asked with some uncertainty.
"The only way to send beggars away is if you don't invite them," Huang Degong snorted coldly, "I dare to enter the city, don't you dare to invite me? You have been a thief for a long time, do you feel so guilty?"
I guess, Tiechuan was instantly angered by these words: "Why don't you dare, but there is no need for Uncle Jingnan to be a thief. Now that we have peace talks, we are a family. To humiliate us is to humiliate yourself. Don't forget that there are people in the imperial court." There are many thieves out there."
"Are you talking about Gao Jie? I'm not afraid of offending him." Huang Degong shrugged.
"I'm talking about Li Yan," Tiechuan said with a dark face. Huang Degong choked and snorted.
Huang Degong really entered the city, and he was alone!
That's right, he was alone, without even a personal guard, and then he followed Tiechuan into the city while Jia Waixiong was stunned. Of course, what stunned Jia Waixiong was not just that he entered the city alone, but that he walked into the city. At the door, he peed in full view, and then turned back to wink at Jia Waixiong.
Everyone was in an uproar!
"General, what's wrong with Uncle Huang? Peeing at the gate of the city is an insult to Tiechuan?" His subordinates were confused and thought Huang Degong was too vulgar and pesky.
Jia Waixiong curled his lips: "Do you know why dogs like to pee next to trees? They want to occupy territory! This old slut is getting more and more bottomless and treats himself as a dog!"
"So that's it. Even if Uncle Huang is a dog, he is still a big wolfdog." The subordinates looked at him with admiration and smiled in an extremely vulgar manner.
But after all, we can't joke about Huang Degong's safety. Jia Waixiong ordered the entire army to prepare for war. Of course, the entire army also included Huang Degong's three thousand soldiers. If anything happened to Huang Degong in the city, they would immediately destroy the small town of Jianli.
Of course, this was just to prevent accidents. In fact, after thinking about it, Jia Waixiong and others felt that although Huang Degong's entry into the city was a bit too much, it would only be a near miss at most. After all, if something happened to him, the court and Chang Yu would have an excuse to step into the city. It was not just the small town of Jianli that was in trouble, but also took the opportunity to take back Jingxiang.
I believe that both Jingzhou and Tiechuan knew it very well. In fact, in order to dispel Huang Degong's concerns and appear magnanimous, Tiechuan ordered the city gate not to be closed. If he harmed Huang Degong in the city, once the city gate was closed, the people outside would be closed. Although Jia Waixiong has strong soldiers and horses, no one even wants to attack. It is not that simple.
But as long as this old guy doesn't go too far after he logs into the city, there shouldn't be any trouble. As long as he comes out safely, there will be trouble in the future...
