A great characteristic of Chinese people is that they talk about love before talking about things.
As long as the word "emotion" is mentioned properly, it will be a matter of course that "a soldier dies for a confidant" and a strong man will never return once he is gone.
Because of this, Chinese culture has been passed down from generation to generation, and every book is full of strong words of love.
Today Liu Yi created the opportunity to be alone with Chai Ling and Huang Biao, and it also started out of love.
After some kind words from the emperor and his ministers, the three finally stood up with each other's support.
The three of them were speechless for a long time. As the sun went down, Liu Yi finally spoke with Qiao Miaoqing tugging on his sleeves, "Brother Chai, are the one thousand soldiers accompanying you today brave enough and loyal enough?"
Chai Ling did not hesitate and immediately replied, "Back to the general, the soldiers on this trip are all the best in the examination at the end of last year. Riding alone, one can beat three, it will not be a problem; if there is superior combined attack skills, One is worth five, no matter what. As for loyalty, among these thousand people, some are veterans who survived the Battle of Fulingshan, and some were recruits from last year. Although there is a difference between the old and the new, they all have respect and respect for the general. The feeling of making great achievements is real. The general will dare to be the guarantee, and these one thousand people will definitely be brave."
Chai Ling talked about bravery, but when it came to loyalty, Chai Ling's words did not speak to death.
Since ancient times, people's hearts are as unpredictable as the sky. Who can guarantee that who you are today will not be who you will be tomorrow?
Listening to Chai Ling's very vague explanation of the word "loyalty", Liu Yi lowered his head and thought for a moment. After a while, the young man Liu Yi looked up with clear eyes and said to Chai Ling, "Fifty, fifty loyal and fearless people." Is it possible to find such a soldier among a thousand people?"
When they went into the mountain today, they brought all the soldiers from Chailing. Huang Biao came alone and didn't know much about the soldiers who went into the mountain. He wanted to ask Liu Yi directly why he called them here, but he was afraid of being abrupt, so he could only stand there. The people next to me were staring and worried.
Chai Lingwu thought to himself for a short while and said firmly to Liu Yi, "Yes!"
Liu Yi smiled with relief, and immediately gave an order with a straight face, "Okay! Please ask Brother Chai to gather a thousand men and horses immediately, select the strongest men from them, and the remaining people will go directly back to the camp. Late at night, Brother Chai will come with fifty people. We gather here, I have something important to ask of you! Remember, don’t light any fires along the way, stay hidden, and don’t let others know your whereabouts.”
After the leader of Chailingang left, Huang Biao walked up to Liu Yi in a humble manner, rubbed his hands, and asked with a smile, "General, what is the important matter? It is so mysterious!"
Liu Yi patted Huang Biao's shoulder and said with a half-smile, "This is much more exciting than visiting a brothel!"
Huang Biao said impatiently, "Oh, my general! You know me. I'm so impatient that I can't hide things. You're hiding it like this, which makes me feel so uncomfortable."
Liu Yi said mysteriously, "The secret must not be leaked before the time comes. When the time comes, you have to know even if you don't want to know!"
Huang Biao asked bluntly, "So, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
"The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune." Liu Yi looked far away, looking at the setting sun. "Tonight, if the things we entrusted to you become better, you can achieve immortal deeds. If you don't do it well, you will die." , hidden in the dust and smoke!"
Huang Biao was slightly startled after hearing this, then hid aside and muttered, "That's a good thing!"
...
A moment later, as the sun faded into the night, summer cicadas hummed, and as a strange cry fell into human ears, Chai Ling quietly came to Liu Yi with fifty soldiers with broad shoulders and round waists.
After everyone sat in a group around Liu Yi, Qiao Miaoqing wisely picked up her sword and went out to guard the area.
Liu Yi stood in the center of the crowd, trying his best to calm down. He lowered his voice and spoke, "Soldiers, two generations of the Quzhou Jiang family have been entrenched in the Central Plains, and their merits have been paid off. Zhou Mujiang is ambitious and brave, and he is the best. At that time, there were tens of thousands of men with armor, and they went wild in the Central Plains. Wherever the bandits passed, they took away jewels and cut into people's hearts. Many of those who surrendered died miserably without graves. But today, there is peace, but Jiang Feng has defeated the national code and caused unjust soldiers everywhere. Fanggu County was in turmoil, and the Jiang and Zhao families had been at odds for nearly two years. People did not dare to leave the city to harvest wheat, and merchants did not dare to open their doors to welcome them.
Guest, the people in Quzhou are in a turbulent mood, and their people are fearful and resentful. They are actually the sinners of the world. "
There was silence everywhere, and the fifty-two men looked at Liu Yi with glint in their eyes.
Liu Yi paused, "Soldiers, including me, we are all mud-legged people who have struggled through hard times. We are well aware of the suffering of the folks. Although we are humble and humble, we cannot save the world. Although the people are in dire straits, we can’t just look at the people in dire straits without saving them. Besides, the Pingtian Army was originally born to pacify the families of the five counties. It aims to serve the imperial court and put an end to civil strife. When this big bandit is in charge, it is I, the Pingtian Army, who It’s a good opportunity to show off your talents and become famous all over the world. When the time comes, you can be promoted to an official position, shine on your family, and save the common people. This is the supreme honor of a good man!”
In addition to being fierce, everyone's eyes were filled with murderous aura at this moment.
"My general's original intention was to launch an army in May and march south to attack Taihao City together with the Zhao family, destroying the entire Jiang family in one fell swoop to repay the emperor and the people. However, His Majesty issued an edict to order the Pingtian army to regroup on the spot, and there are other arrangements. , our great cause of saving the people of the three counties can only be put on hold for now, and we will keep Jiang Feng’s head for now.”
With the strength of the Pingtian Army, fighting against the Jiang clan is really a matter of throwing an egg against a stone.
Therefore, what Liu Yi said had no confidence at all, but at this moment he knew that what the soldiers in front of him needed most was courage and hope.
The group of people in front of me chose to join the army in the peaceful world. They already had such ambitions and righteousness in their hearts. Following Liu Yi's encouragement, each of them looked excited and held their hands together in silence. Their eyes were like the moon tonight. Bright and pure, like the cold wind at night, chilling and cold.
"However, whether to send troops or not is one thing. Whether we should make preparations for him to send troops is another matter. In order to defeat Jiang Feng and capture Taihao City at the lowest cost, I, the general, have come up with a plan. , it is necessary for the loyal and martyrs here to die. Everyone, would you like to visit Taihao City? See the majesty of the first city in the Central Plains?"
Liu Yizai looked around carefully for a week. He wanted to write down the faces of this group of people, because there might be very few people who could come back.
The people present are indeed good men with great blood and guts. He went to the enemy camp and narrowly escaped death. As soon as these words came out, no one of the soldiers present showed any timidity. However, the hands he arched out and the waist he bent became deeper!
Liu Yi was grateful in his heart, deeply comforted and encouraged him, and returned the favor deeply.
After the ceremony, Liu Yi's expression suddenly became cold and stern. The good guy had finished his work, and now it was his turn to be the bad guy!
I saw his hands rising and falling, a line of light gold flowing on the fingertips. According to his thoughts, he acted according to the law. The dragon ball jumped out from his belly, accumulating endless strength, floating on the palm of Liu Yi's hand, spreading out. The shining light complements the silver moonlight in the sky.
Everyone who saw Liu Yi using his mind for the first time was surprised.
"I will reiterate my point once more, General."
Liu Yi's voice gradually became darker, and his murderous spirit became stronger. He said solemnly, "The Taihao City team is an act of seizing chestnuts from the fire. The fifty-two people must work together and be extremely meticulous. Otherwise, if one person leaks the secret, the rest will die, and all the previous efforts will be wasted." We have spoken both good words and bad words. If you leave at this time, you can still be an ordinary sergeant in Hirata. If someone wants to leave after the general issues the order later, then you must leave your life behind. If you go to Taihao City, During the operation, you committed betrayal and betrayal. Hum! The general will chase you and your family members for the crime of killing Lian. I will give you some tea time. If you want to leave, just leave."
After saying that, Liu Yi closed his eyes and stopped looking at everyone.
After the tea time passed, Liu Yi opened his eyes, his eyes slightly sparkling.
He knew that there were fifty-two people present when he closed his eyes, and at this moment, there were still fifty-two people.
Yo yo deer roar, eat wild apples. I have guests, harp blowing Sheng. It is Liu Yi's blessing that the Pingtian Army has such a dedicated and loyal man, and it is a blessing for the people of Quzhou.
Chai Ling came out of the queue and expressed everyone's thoughts with his hands, "General, my husband gambled his life to repay the gentleman, and he should kill the leader of the thieves. Since we have surrendered to the Pingtian army, we should die for the great cause of Pingtian. General, please give the order. !」
Looking at the soldiers with bright eyes, they lowered their voices and said together, "Please give the order, general."
Liu Yi no longer hesitated and said immediately, "Today we need you to pretend to be traders and farmers, set out tonight, and sneak into the area in batches."
Enter Taihao City as an internal response. When Pingtian's army presses the border, you and others will kill the city guards, break open the city gate, and let our army enter the city to achieve the first victory. As for after today, I will let people spread the news that you and others encountered a tiger and wild beast and died while hunting for treasure, and set up a memorial tablet in Wangnan Temple, distribute a certain amount of pension to you and other family members, and take more care of you. Don't worry, everyone, after the matter is completed, I will restore your status and assign titles according to your merits. "
Fifty-two people, lonely and silent, all worshiped the leader.
The summer wind ripples the grass, and the willows surround the wild apricot blossoms.
The green mountains are full of love, and the bright moon shows my pride.
...
Later, the "History of the Han Dynasty" recorded this incident. According to Liu Yi's request, Xie Yun made a special statement at the end, saying: Conspiracies are hidden in the mountains and fields, and cholera originated from Xiao Qiang.
In the silent heroism, Chai Ling obeyed Liu Yi's order, took off his armor first, dressed up as a farmer, and left in groups in an orderly manner.
Liu Yi once again wasted his resources and used the dragon ball as a big shovel. He controlled the dragon ball to dig a large hole in the ground and buried fifty-two pieces of armor taken off by the soldiers.
Tonight, under the pretense of going into the mountains to hunt for treasure, he secretly hid his troops in Taihao City. Everything was part of his plan last night.
There were fewer and fewer people leaving. Under Liu Yi's instruction, Huang Biao, who was feeling frustrated, was ordered to be the last one to leave. When he was saying goodbye to Liu Yi, Liu Yi suddenly grabbed his arm and stuffed a letter into him. in the arms.
Liu Yi looked at Huang Biao with complicated eyes and said, "Brother Huang, your ancestor Huang Zhong was ranked first among the Five Tiger Generals. He had the highest level of imperial skills and was extremely powerful. I hope your trip can revive the reputation of the Huang family!" Please keep this letter for yourself. If something is exposed or the situation is desperate, you can open it and explore it, and you may be able to turn things around!"
Huang Biao asked in surprise, "General, you want to entrust me with the final plan? Aren't you afraid that I am a rough man?"
Liu Yi smiled and shook his head.
"I know you don't believe that a person like me who spends all his time wandering around is the queen of a famous general, but it doesn't matter. Military generals rely on their swords to achieve merit, not their family background. When I become a minister and take charge of the military power, then When the time comes, I will definitely rebuild my Huang family ancestral hall and revive the glory of the Huang family."
Huang Biao patted his chest hard and finished speaking with certainty. His eyes fell again, "I would also like to ask one more question. I was neither the general's childhood playmate nor did he accompany the general to participate in the five counties." After the battle between Pingtian and Fulingshan, I can be considered a monk on the way to becoming a monk. The general has entrusted me with such an important task, so he trusts me so much?"
"Don't trust those who employ you, and don't trust those who doubt you. If I want to use you, I will trust you!"
Liu Yi patted Huang Biao's shoulder and said with a faint smile, "I am also a child from a poor family. I am where I am today thanks to the appreciation of the emperor. Since I am not a royal relative, in my eyes and heart, naturally there are not so many factions. The importance of party members is that those who come are like-minded brothers, and those who rebel are enemies until death. That's all the affairs of the world!"
Huang Biao nodded, grinned and said, "When visiting a brothel, I always pay attention to finding the right person, and then inserting the pole to the end. It feels really comfortable. I think I have found the right person today, and the rest is... Just stick it all the way to the end, haha! General, take your leave!"
Staring at Huang Biao's back, Liu Yi smiled in a daze and said to himself, "The descendants of the Huang family are indeed a bit yellow!"
After the soldiers left, Qiao Miaoqing sneaked over. Seeing Liu Yi's expression of endless aftertaste, she suddenly pinched Liu Yi's nose and asked, "Xiao Yinglong, have you been to a brothel?"
Ouch! This is a gift proposition!
If you say you are going to go, then you will definitely get a severe beating if you have a good relationship.
If he said he hadn't gone, but judging from the conversation with Huang Biao just now, it was obvious that he had gone, then he needed to give Qiao Miaoqing a reasonable explanation!
Liu Yi struggled to break away from Qiao Miaoqing's hand and explained, "Ahem! Miaoqing has been with me all day, so she naturally knows whether I am going or not."
Qiao Miaoqing thought for a while, "Then are you going or not?"
"Of course not!" Liu Yi looked at the sky, "It's going to rain!"
"It was still fine just now! God is so moody!"
Liu Yi smiled and said, "It never rains heavily.
What a hurry! "
