At the beginning, Lu Ziqian asked the literati present to sing a piece of literary work to make things difficult for Xu Yunyan. Indeed, as Lu Ziqian thought, he started shaking his head and talking.
It's just that they have not participated in any war, let alone the hardships of marching, nor the brutality of the battle, nor the heavy price they will have to pay in order to win.
Just shaking my head here, what kind of general is going to take action, one person is the best, etc., etc., etc., this nonsense.
Xu Yunyan couldn't help but laugh when he heard that they didn't know the difficulty of marching and scratched their heads before marching.
Seeing Xu Yunyan's appearance, everyone couldn't help but be very curious.
"Does the general think the article I wrote is not good?"
"It's not that the article you wrote is bad."
Xu Yunyan said this, and just when everyone was about to sigh and Xu Yunyan also recognized that the article they had written was good, Xu Yunyan said something to them directly.
"This article written by you guys who have never participated in marching and fighting is really nonsense."
As a result, Xu Yunyan suddenly said such a sentence, which made the literati present blush.
"Have you ever spoken so straightforwardly? Do you think the article I wrote makes no sense?"
Everyone was staring at Xu Yunyan fiercely here. If Xu Yunyan didn't say one, two, three, they would definitely give up on Xu Yunyan.
Xu Yunyan was not afraid of them and stood up directly from his seat. He didn't care about his stomach. He felt uncomfortable after drinking the bowl of aromatherapy specially prepared by Fumanlou and opened his mouth to drink it.
"The beacon light shines on Xijing, and I feel uneasy..."
Soon, a poem about "I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar" was sung by Xu Yunyan, which made the scholars present feel that their faces had lost their luster.
However, the person who was prepared to make Xu Yunyan embarrassed didn't care about this. Instead, he was looking at Xu Yunyan here.
"This excellent poem by General Li seems to be persuading me and other scholars to write and join the army, instead of taking the excitement of marching and fighting."
Seeing this guy still here arguing with Xu Yunyan, Lu Zigan couldn't help but change his face.
Just when he was about to scold this scholar, Xu Yunyan said with a smile.
"Okay, if that's the case, I'll just make one.
When I was drunk, I lit up the lamp and watched the sword. I dreamed about the trumpet blowing company camp. Eight hundred miles away, my subordinates were burned. The sound of fifty strings beating outside the Great Wall. Autumn troops on the battlefield..."
It was another popular masterpiece. Looking at the literati who was doing it, he still looked a little unconvinced. Xu Yunyan couldn't help but read a poem he had written before.
I just don’t know if it has spread to them.
"The car is rolling, the horse is Xiaoxiao..." After creating a piece of music again, the expression on the face of the scholar who was ready to see Xu Yunyan embarrassed was wonderful.
Sometimes it was red, sometimes green, and now it turned from red to green and then purple. When it seemed that I couldn't take a breath, I finally coughed and survived.
"The general's literary talent is outstanding, and we are willing to be inferior to him. It's just that the general said that the articles written by the students from Qiongzhou and I are nonsense. Isn't it a bit too much?"
Xu Yunyan couldn't help laughing when he saw them.
"I said that the article you wrote on the battlefield is nonsense, and I do have my opinion.
After all, I have commanded thousands of troops and fought on the battlefield. How can it be as simple as you think? After every battle, didn’t the bones build up my reputation in the Tang Dynasty?
It hurts my heart every time, but you are here to sensationalize these things, do you still want me to say whether you are doing a good job or not? "
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, he felt his throat was a little thirsty. He looked around to see if there was anyone bringing him water. He had to suppress the discomfort in his throat and cough, and continued to roar loudly at this group of literati.
"I don't know that the common people are suffering. No matter whether we win or are defeated, the people suffer. Those heroes who died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country. Whose fathers and whose sons are they? , whose husband and whose brother?
Could it be that they can be arbitrarily dictated by you here? Maybe some of them are related to you by blood. How can you be so patient?
The living ones just walked off the battlefield, but those who died are the ones we owe them. "
After Xu Yunyan paid his respects once, he finally made the literati present quiet down.
How many people can return from this ancient battle? Those who died in battle were found in every household.
Seriously, let’s talk carefully about who didn’t have a relative or friend die in the battle to bring peace to the people?
But just after the scene became quiet, the shameless book voice who had been criticized by Xu Yunyan had the confidence to point at Xu Yunyan and speak here.
"Isn't that true of General Li? There is another saying. I remember it seems that one general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted."
But after he said these words, the whole place was in an uproar.
"This man really dares to say something. He says it without caring about anything. Do you know what this person in front of you does? You dare to say that he is incompetent as a general and exhausts the entire army. If you say that he is incompetent, what will happen to the Tang Dynasty? How many generals can catch your eye?"
While everyone was here looking at him lamenting, perhaps trying to deal with his funeral affairs, Xu Yunyan laughed.
"Is a general incompetent? That may be the case. If I had been more careful and careful, why would so many of my brothers have been killed in battle! How could the young Turkic son be jumping around on the border again?"
Looking at Xu Yunyan here, he was a little annoyed. He did make a mistake in commanding and someone died. This shameless scholar who was insulted by Xu Yunyan finally moved back to the game. Just when he was about to be happy here, Jiang Fangguo suddenly stood up.
"Nonsense, how dare you say General Li is incompetent?
Are you trying to say that there are no great generals in the Tang Dynasty?
After all, General Li is still the military god of the Tang Dynasty. He is Li Jing's disciple and even defeated eight generals of the dynasty in Chang'an.
If General Li can't be called a famous general, then how many people in our Tang Dynasty can be called famous generals? Are these 16 generals all idle? "
have to!
At this moment, the scholar knew that he had caused trouble and caused huge trouble.
Although Jiang Fangguo stood up and scolded the scholar in front of him loudly, the scholar in front of him sneered.
"Who knows how this general got his name? Is it true that he is just a pile of bones as he said?"
After Xu Yunyan heard what this man said, he calmed down the furious Jiang Fangguo. He looked at the livid faces around him and waved his hands to the middle-level officials who were dissatisfied with the scholar.
"Everyone, don't worry, let alone be angry. The pure will be cleansed by themselves, and the dirty will be fouled by themselves. It has been several years since I joined the army. Although I don't have many shining achievements, I still deserve the title of the loyal general.
How? Facts speak louder than words. If you can leave Qiongzhou and visit the Northland, ask and take a look, you will know what I have done?
Now it's time for me to find a way to get off here, and it's time for me to admit defeat. Since it's a literary conference now, I'll leave the scene to you young men of letters. It's better for us to leave. "
When Xu Yunyan said this, everyone felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.
The scholar is very proud here.
have a look!
have a look!
This is the result of fishing for fame and reputation. In the end, we won the victory, which completely made this guy fishing for fame and reputation bow his head and admit his mistake.
However, in the middle of the banquet, after Xu Yunyan left, there was no such fuss for the time being. Jiang Fangguo also waved his sleeves and walked out of the hall with the people in his Zhechong Mansion who came to attend the banquet. go out.
As soon as I came out, I saw Xu Yunyan negotiating with the waiter down there, constantly asking for money.
This made Jiang Fangguo dissatisfied.
"General, why are you doing this? These literati look down on us so much and why should we pay for their meals?"
Xu Yunyan watched Jiang Fangguo come down and shook his head.
"It's not that I don't want to part with the money, but since I convened this reception, of course I have to be responsible to the end.
By the way, when I came here just now, I saw a restaurant not far away. Let's go to the restaurant and have something to eat, so as not to make us feel uncomfortable with these literati. How about that? "
