For Wang De, even if you cut off a layer of skin on his body with a knife, it would still be better than the emperor's constant yin and yang aura these days.
He arrived a little later, so he adapted later than the two commanders. What he fears most every day is hearing:
"The officials are here."
This sentence is like the incantation recited by Taoist priests when catching ghosts, and it happens to be the natural enemy of Yaksha.
After the servant who had delivered the message left the Suzhou government office, Wang De started practicing boxing in the yard... He was sweating profusely and chopped three bluestone bricks on the steps into pieces. Come on.
"The official looks so amiable, why do he say something so hurtful?"
No one could answer his question. After the soldier handed over the hot handkerchief and Wang De wiped away the smelly sweat, the soldiers guarding outside ran in.
"General, those two are here."
"Here?" Wang De was a little confused while getting dressed, "What are those two people doing here?"
"I didn't say anything specific. I just said that I wanted to see you and discuss something with you."
"If I'm not here, I have nothing to say to them!"
The soldier said "hey" and was about to go out to reply. When he turned around, he happened to bump into two people who had come without invitation.
Yang Yizhong is still like a giant, but he is a lot darker than last year. This year happens to be his 40s... In fact, he was already like this when he was twenty years old. For him, forty years old, but It’s just a new twenty.
Zhao Mi was the same, with a lot of tiny scars on his face. It looked like he had buried his face in the grass and had many cuts made by Cao. He still looked like someone who had a grudge against his father. His eyes looked as if the man who shed tears in the camp just now had nothing to do with him.
As for Wang Yaksha... as I said before, Liu Bang has never used beauty or ugliness to evaluate a man. Only when he faced this man, he felt that he was ugly from the bottom of his heart, and now he was blind in one eye. , but he didn't use a cloth to cover it, and allowed the wound to form a terrible scar... The flesh of his left eye was squeezed together, and there was no room left for the eyeball. He was originally called Yaksha, but now he is more like Yaksha.
The three generals in this hospital are all talented people who have emerged from Zhang Taiwei's command. They have also worked together and lived together for many years. Although they are not from the same hometown, according to the theory of scholars, they can be regarded as classmates.
The relationship was supposed to be better than that of other troops, but when they met at this time, none of the three people were polite at all. For a moment, the two commanders stood, one looked at the sky, the other stared at the ground, while Wang De He treated the two of them as if they didn't exist and kept his belt tied.
Except for the chirping of a few birds, the yard fell into a strange silence.
Finally, the soldier who allowed the two men to break in realized that he had failed in his duty and was the first to speak:
"Two generals, my general said he is not here."
Wang De's face couldn't help but twitch, and Zhao Mi became even more furious and slapped him on the face:
"You think we are blind too?! How dare you tell lies in front of me, you are such a damned thing!"
The soldier covered his face and stood aside, but the words "I am also blind" really touched Wang Yaksha's inner tenderness. In addition, Zhao Mi beat his own soldier in front of him. ... As the saying goes, "It depends on the owner to beat a dog." Wang De was instantly furious, pointed at Zhao Mi and started to curse:
"What kind of authority do you think you are showing off when you come here to me?!"
"Why, you can't take advantage of Li Qiong Gouri, so you come here to vent your anger on your own people, right?"
"Zhao, my soldiers are not your wife! If you want to get angry, go back and beat your mother-in-law!"
In terms of age, Wang De is older than Zhao Mi. In terms of seniority, both of them joined the army during the Huizong period. However, in terms of official position, Zhao Mi is more than one level higher than Wang Yaksha... Except for the smooth start, The Commander-in-Chief of Zhao had been losing battles for the past six months, and had been scolded by the emperor for a month. He was already feeling suffocated.
Normally they just ignore each other, but today they finally had something to talk about, and Zhao Mi refused to give in:
"Wang Yaksha! Keep your mouth clean!"
"I'm so angry, why am I so angry?! It's not me who's bragging, and I'm not the one who's blind!"
"You said that Li Qiong would run away when he heard your name. What's the result? Your reputation has been blown to the sky! If you had 10% of the skills you talk about, all the officials would have entered Bianjing City long ago. !”
"Fuck!" Wang De slapped all four legs off the stool he was sitting on, and rushed towards Zhao Mi with it... It was said that Zhao Mi was angry, but Wang De was not. Not too angry!
Zhao Mi was not afraid at all. He also kicked the pomegranate tree next to him and raised a branch as thick as his arm to greet him. The two only met each other and immediately started fighting.
In just an instant, the leaves and sawdust were flying everywhere, all over the yard.
Both of them were soldiers who had climbed up from the bottom, not Liu Guangshi's kind of drunkenness... This one performed well before, and the emperor changed his last name back; so when the two of them fought, they just held stools and wood. , otherwise, it would really be a life-and-death situation.
Yang Yizhong watched for a long time, then gently blew away a piece of broken leaf that flew over. He didn't stop it, and he didn't want to stop it.
He is just like a piece of wood, not really a piece of wood. He is also angry with these two people in his heart, but he can still hold it in and refuses to let it out.
Otherwise, he would definitely have to go up and mix things up.
After half a stick of incense had been played, Yang Yizhong looked at the sky and knew what the overall situation was, so he said lightly:
"You two..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang De took the lead and shouted:
"Yang Zhengfu, don't plead for this man, I have to give him some strength today!"
Zhao Mi also opened his mouth: "Zhengfu, don't persuade me, I've wanted to teach this guy a lesson for a long time!"
Yang Duzhi felt helpless: "You two, Yizhong doesn't want to dissuade you. I just want to inform you."
"If you don't listen, don't stop chanting. If you think about talking too much, I will teach you a lesson too!"
"Yaksha has such a loud mouth! Of all the people in my body, your mouth is the toughest!"
The wooden frame came to the bench, and the wooden frame was blocked by the bench. The fight was really fierce. The two of them hit each other on the head. It looked like they had to compete.
Yang Yizhong's mouth moved, but finally no words came out. He turned his back, shook his head, and stepped out of the yard.
He and Zhao Mi originally came to pick up Wang De... The officials had already sent word that they would be arriving in Suzhou today. The three of them were here now, so they couldn't wait any longer.
But the two generals looked like this, giving him no chance to speak, and he didn't want to get entangled, otherwise he wouldn't be able to escape.
Of the three of us, we can't go without any of them.
In this way, Ambassador Yang left the government office, took the Imperial Guards from the Palace Front Division, and went to the South City Gate to wait on their own.
As for these two people... I just hope they don't blame themselves too much afterwards. It's not that I didn't speak, it was them who didn't listen.
Now is the time of war, and there are not so many things in Suzhou City to set up a show for the emperor, but Yang Yizhong still tried his best to arrange it, trying to make it look more lively, festive, and luxurious... Luxury cannot be luxurious. Yes, he thought that even if he couldn't make a hundred-foot-long red carpet from the city gate to the city, he still threatened some unscrupulous people in Suzhou:
"Don't neglect your majesty. If you really don't have it, you can only look for the red cloth from the Minzi Temple."
Although the Minzi Temple was only built a few decades ago, it is still the place of faith for the people of Suzhou. Filial piety is discussed in every household, so there is no way to allow these soldiers and gangsters to be arrogant.
In desperation, we used one foot from your house and one foot from my house to cobble together this 130-foot red carpet.
As for the people who came to support... I don't know how many of them are really looking forward to the arrival of Zhao Guan's family.
Liu Bang and his party were walking very fast, mainly because he was walking fast himself. The whole way they went was the territory of the Song Dynasty, which was also the place where he started his career. Although the details have changed a lot over the years, the general appearance is the same. changing.
Since he is familiar with the road, he also leads the cavalry first. The people behind him should be slower. Anyway, he wants to see his three favorite generals as early as possible.
He is indeed a beloved general, at least that's what Liu Bang thought.
So when he arrived outside the south gate of Suzhou and saw this scene...perhaps he was used to the grand scenes of the Song Dynasty, what Yang Yizhong worked hard to create became a bit weird in his eyes. The feeling of not coming out.
It's like a shabby person entertaining guests, trying hard to look wealthy, but unable to hide the shabby smell.
But at least it was the intention of these people, and it was indeed the first time that he was welcomed by the people so smoothly... After all, he was also the emperor, so he naturally liked this kind of scene.
What's more, he is Liu Bang. He was born like that. He has always felt familiar with the common people, and there is also a silly big guy whom he hasn't seen in a long time...
No matter what, he was happy at this time.
Yang Yizhong was also happy. On the eve of last year's departure, the scene of the monarch and his ministers drinking together seemed like yesterday. In addition, with the news of the great victory in Yingzhou and the bad things in Lin'an City, he was indeed worried a lot about Zhao Guan's family.
Now the emperor and his ministers met again. From a long distance away, Yang Yizhong saw the flag of the 'Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses'. He couldn't bear it anymore and went directly towards the holy driver.
From a small step to a trot, and then to a long stride, Yang Duzhi was like a braggadocio chasing the sun, his burly body swaying, and he ran in front of Liu Bang's horse.
"Official!"
"Your Majesty, Yang Yizhong, is here to see you!"
Before the arrival of the Jin people, the Song people did not have the habit of kneeling and saluting, and everyone's knees were very hard.
Naturally, civil servants here are tougher than generals, generals are tougher than soldiers, and people in the court are tougher than common people. It’s no big deal, and everyone is not very good at bending their knees.
Yang Yizhong was a little emotional at this time. He didn't know whether it was because he blamed himself for not winning the battle or because he really hadn't seen the emperor for half a year. At this time, he knelt down and gave a big salute to the emperor.
"I'm guilty... I'm incompetent and delayed important official matters. Please punish me!"
It is said that you should not hit someone with a smiling face, so Liu Bang would scold him and feel strange in his heart. Now when he saw his appearance and thought of all the things in the past, the anger in his heart had long since dissipated.
But he was still unforgiving and asked Huang Yanjie to take a box and throw it directly in front of him:
"Do your damnedest to hold me back!"
"Do you think you can get by with just a few nice words?"
"It's just that the battle is about to begin. Punishing you may shake my military morale. Otherwise, I would have made you eat two Amitabhas!"
Yang Yizhong was just about to explain that he had no intention of saying anything nice to avoid punishment, but he heard the emperor say doubtfully:
"What about those two people? Why are you here alone?"
"Well... they are at the government office in the city. I have something to do for the time being, so I will come first."
Yang Duzhi knew that he could not tell lies in front of the emperor, so he uttered a vague truth.
Liu Bang also knew his temper and sneered:
"You're really setting things up for me! What's the matter? You think I've scolded you too hard, so you're going to show off your temper with me again, right?"
"No, but..."
Liu Bang waved his hand: "Enter the city!"
He rode around Yang Yizhong, took a few steps forward, and then said:
"In that box is a new armor made by the weapons inspector. You boy, check to see if it fits... A man as big as Bai Chang can't even take down Suzhou!"
Du Shi Yang felt all kinds of emotions and emotions welling up in his heart. When he opened the box, he saw another pair of scarlet lacquered mountain armor and a phoenix-winged turtleneck, which were exactly the same as those worn by the statue of the Heavenly King in the temple.
Just by looking at the workmanship, he knew it was worth a lot. This made him feel even more ashamed.
Bozhou, Bozhou, I was actually blocked by a Li Qiong thief general. How virtuous and capable I am to be awarded such heavy armor!
He was moved for a while, but the emperor started to curse again:
"Is this how you come to pick up people? Come and lead my horse! Lead the way!"
Yang Yizhong will probably have to think deeply for a while.
After entering the city, Yang Dushi took the emperor to the government office. Liu Bang just remembered that when he entered the city gate, many people breathed a sigh of relief intentionally or unintentionally, knowing that there must be something else.
But at this time, he couldn't care about so much. Wang De and Zhao Mi, apart from other things, never and dared not forget the basic etiquette. If they didn't come to pick him up now, they must be doing other things.
And judging from Yang Yizhong's expression, what those two guys did was definitely not a good thing.
Suzhou City is not big, but it has its own prosperity... On the road from the city gate to the government office, there are also many people selling stalls, but the items for sale are very rare, including paper, ink, pens, and inkstones. , books, calligraphy and paintings, walking down a street, including the shops on both sides, there was not even one selling food.
The prosperity of his writing style is evident.
Yang Dushi obediently did his job as a groom. When he arrived in front of the government office, Yang Yizhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart...
Unless he, Yang Yizhong, didn't help, the two of them were really making a ridiculous fuss.
The central gate of the government office was opened wide, but not to welcome His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Instead, from the street outside the gate to the courtyard, there were soldiers fighting with each other everywhere.
It was none other than the Imperial Guards from the Infantry Division and the dozens of soldiers Wang De brought with him when he came out of Yingzhou.
Fortunately, these people did not completely lose their minds and did not show their weapons... Even so, they were not limited to fists and feet. Everyone had a lot of things to do with their hands. Some held flower pots, and some held weapons. The buckets and the poles were fighting together, it was so lively.
Although there were not many people brought by Wang De, they were all good players who had fought with him for many years, and most of them were also accustomed to the Yaksha temperament. Therefore, even though the Infantry Division was overwhelmed by the number of people, it was impossible to rely on this government office to perform its duties. The terrain is not far behind.
Liu Bang's face was extremely ugly, and the people around him did not dare to speak loudly. These people were all Zhang Taiwei's old generals, so he kept winking at Yang Yizhong, signaling him to quickly persuade him to leave.
Following the example of the previous dynasty, this dynasty has been restricting military personnel from various angles since the founding of the country. It is to strengthen the branches and strengthen the weak branches, and to regulate the law. Naturally, it is also to divide and rule.
At first it was the Forbidden Army who looked down upon the border troops, then the Western Army looked down upon the Forbidden Army, and after the monster Guo Yaoshi appeared, it turned into a pure Han Army who looked down on the Han Army in Liaodong... This kind of situation is very important for Shoucheng For the emperor, he was happy to see it.
But again, now is not the time to defend the country, it is the time to fight for the world. It is good for these military ruffians to put their ambition on the battlefield. If they take it to the battlefield, they are breaking the law and committing a crime.
Yang Yizhong stepped forward and grabbed a Yaksha soldier who wanted to punch someone. The man also recognized Yang Duzhi. He saw the person coming, but he did not stop.
After struggling several times but unable to break free, he asked loudly:
"Does the Front Division also want to help the Infantry Division to bully us?!"
He said this loudly, and before Yang Yizhong could reply to him, other people who were taking action listened... The people in the Infantry Division were more motivated, and Wang De's soldiers felt a little sad and angry. People even followed General Wang to this place, and many brothers had not followed. The people from the Infantry Division only bullied the few with more people, and even the people from the Palace Front Division also got involved!
As soon as Yang Yizhong took action, not only did he not let them stop, but the fight became even more intense.
"Stop! Stop everything!"
Yang Dushi's voice seemed extremely weak amidst the noise. Zhang Taiwei looked anxious. Zhao Mi and Wang De were really afraid that they would not live long!
He quickly asked the emperor for instructions: "Officials, do you want me to persuade you?"
Liu Bang looked at the people not far away... There were no shops in this government office area, and there were only a few people there, but at the other end of the street, there were clearly people watching the excitement!
To be precise, they didn't look like they were here to watch the fun. The disdain on their faces was evident, as if they were watching animals fight.
As if someone had exposed a family scandal, Liu Bang didn't even look back, but his voice was very deep:
"With a cup of tea, I can settle this place for me."
When the emperor didn't say 'I' or 'your father' to himself, it was usually when he was serious. Captain Zhang had already figured out this pattern clearly. He didn't dare to neglect anymore, so he turned over and got off the horse, and took out the He picked up his own spear and carried it on his back.
Otherwise, the gangsters must be punished. Who is Taiwei Zhang?
That is the representative of the Song Dynasty ruffian Qiu Ba!
No matter how clumsy the soldiers are, can they still defeat his group of Taiwei soldiers?
He used the gun as a stick, moved both hands, and swung it left and right... In the blink of an eye, many people were hit by the captain's silver gun.
Zhang Jun really used his strength. He knew very well that if he couldn't wake these people up now, when Zhao Guan's family took action, they would not just be beaten with sticks. After all, killing civil servants was like killing dogs. Killing them like this It would be much simpler if a group of warriors came.
Lieutenant Zhang personally took action and finally woke up these soldiers who were already in trouble. Otherwise, it was his seniority. Everyone in the Infantry Department knew him, not to mention Wang De's soldiers. Among them, Before they were Wang De's soldiers, they were Zhang Jun's soldiers first.
The places where Zhang Jun passed by became quiet. He was like a god of war, and wherever he went, the flags and drums ceased.
"The imperial court takes care of your food and pays you, so you can beat your own people here?!"
When the Yasha soldiers saw their leader coming, they originally wanted to complain, but Zhang Jun's words made him swallow all the grievances in his stomach.
"If you can't defeat Bozhou, you can't defeat your own people!"
"Are you a Jin person?" Zhang Jun pointed to an infantry commander, and when he lowered his head, he pointed to a soldier of Wang De, "Or are you a fucking Jin person?"
"Touch your own heads, are you worthy of an official?!"
While cursing, Captain Zhang couldn't help but observe the emperor's expression. His words were not all for show. At any rate, he was not really a waste. He had something real in his belly, and he really dared to compete with the golden man. Go do it.
It's just that these people have flesh on their palms and backs. If they go to one side, it will inevitably damage the image of the leader in the other side's mind.
While he was carrying Zhao Guan's house, he also gave his own hint:
The emperor has long said he was coming, and now I'm even here, and you haven't realized it yet?
Why don't you hurry up and remind Zhao Mi and Wang De!
It's just that these people didn't know if they were beaten stupidly or if they were really frightened by Zhang Jun. They all froze in place, without even the slightest idea of moving, which made Captain Zhang very anxious.
Seeing that the official had dismounted, Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Welcome to the official family!"
As soon as these words came out, these people reacted. They all looked in the direction of the emperor, and most of them recognized His Majesty.
For a moment, the hasty and hasty greeting voices finally sounded in jagged sounds.
Seeing the emperor getting closer and closer, Zhang Jun's heart gradually sank... Those two fools became deaf at some point, and they didn't even make such a big movement, and the official was carrying, If it wasn't the divine arm bow made for him by the weapons inspector, what was it!
Captain Zhang couldn't help but whine in his heart, I'm afraid this matter today may be a big deal.
