Chapter 1521 The Leading Party

Suo Yun marched in front of the army with the Death Battalion.

The weather is good, the autumn is high and the clouds are light, the breeze is blowing, and it feels cool.

Lan Jian was a little anxious, "Brother, we have been following His Majesty for many years, so we can follow the Chinese army anyway! Even if we can't, we can be a forward."

"What kind of striker?" Suo Yun said, "I want to, too, I dream of it. I also had a dream of following His Majesty to fight, but we are pawns."

"It's been so many years, can't we still wear down our status as soldiers?" Lan Jian said dissatisfied.

"How can it be so difficult? Think about it carefully, what would happen when Daliao captured Datang prisoners?"

"Be a slave."

"Being slaves, the masters eat meat. They can only eat dry cakes mixed with sundries, and they are not full. Therefore, those captives often don't live for ten years. Compared with them, we are much better. We must be content .”

Suo Yun turned around and glanced at his subordinates, "After this battle, for many years, we may never find another chance to fight. Tell brothers, this is the last chance to do meritorious service. If you miss it, don't regret it! "

Lan Jian hesitated for a moment, Suo Yun squinted at him, "What are you thinking?"

"I miss my wife and children at home."

Suo Yun and Lan Jian have long been free, and their relationship is also in the Ministry of War. They are genuine generals of the Tang Dynasty.

"Why, the child is not good?"

"Okay, whenever I look at the white and tender child, I want to stay in Chang'an and live a leisurely life every day..."

Suo Yun's eyes turned cold, "This is the most taboo thing when going out for an expedition. Once you hesitate in your heart, you will die the fastest. You quickly dismiss the thought."

"I know, it's just..."

"It's just that wealth has softened your bones!" Suo Yun said coldly: "Don't forget what we call Your Majesty! Master! This is the only one in the world. Otherwise, why do you think others will look at us high?"

Those surrendered generals and officials from the Northern Liao Dynasty did not receive their treatment.

"This is the reward His Majesty has given us for many years. After the reward is given, what do we have to pay for it? Life!" Suo Yun patted his chest, "Our brother should have died in battle a few years ago, but he never died. Look Those subordinates from the past fell one by one at the top of the city, and I felt extremely tormented. Our glory and wealth were bought with the flesh and blood of our brothers. Now that you have softened your bones, are you not afraid of those brothers coming to find you?"

Lan Jian shuddered, "Brother, don't tell me, before I came this time, I had a few nightmares. In the dream, those brothers dragged me and pulled me down desperately."

"We are warriors, and the home of warriors is on the battlefield." Suo Yun's voice was desolate, "I made an oath a few years ago that I will fight for His Majesty in this life until the last moment."He patted his brother on the shoulder, "I hope you do too."

Lan Jian nodded, "Okay!"

Suo Yun looked back again.

The army behind him stretches mightily.

Looking into the distance along this flow of people, groups of cavalry were speeding up, roaring and rushing over from both sides.

Further away is the Chinese Army.

With a large banner, the emperor said to the people around him: "There is no need for a call to arms."

Previously, Han Ji suggested to write an article to crusade against Li Yuan and his son.

"Your Majesty, the proclamation can demonstrate the righteousness of this battle and expose the true colors of Li Yuan and his son!" Han Yuan had already prepared the draft.

"Why waste those words?" The emperor pointed forward with his horsewhip and said: "The so-called call-to-action must come from an unknown teacher, or if one's own side is weak, it will be used to boost morale and win people's hearts.

This battle is the last battle for the unification of the world. The puppet emperor and his son have made the Tang Dynasty angry, and the country is in turmoil. Will the people's hearts be on their side?And the personal enmity between me and the false emperor and his son should be forgotten.There is no need to call out for national hatred and family hatred! "

Several riders came from the front.

"Your Majesty, the Governor of Anzhou and others are waiting to welcome His Majesty."

"Oh!"

The army was marching forward, and dozens of officials stood by the roadside.

When the Chinese army arrived, the officials saluted, "I have seen Your Majesty!"

The emperor got off his horse and walked over, "Is the baggage in place?"

As the city closest to Shu, Anzhou will become a gathering place for the army and a place for personnel transfer this time.

"It's all here, and the minister also asked people to build a warehouse, and wait for the follow-up to store food and grass."

Anzhou Inspector Qian Bo said.

"it is good!"

Afterwards, the army stayed in Anzhou, preparing to rest for a while.

Liang Jing took the initiative to invite Ying to go out with the army this time because he had some connections in Shu.The emperor thought about it and agreed.

"Old Liang, are you familiar?" Wang Laoer asked with a smile.

Looking at Anzhou City, Liang Jing sighed and said, "I stayed here for the first time when I first left Sichuan. After a long time, it is still the same as before."

Wang Laoer chewed the jerky and went into the city with him.

Many people stood on both sides of the street, watching the army enter the city curiously.

A few villains stood at the front, and one of them rubbed his eyes, "Isn't this Brother Liang? Hey! Brother Liang? Brother Liang!"

Liang Jing heard the sound and looked over, blinked his eyes, "Second Meng?"

Evil Younger said joyfully, "It's the younger brother."

Liang Jing got off his horse and came over, "You are not in Sichuan, what are you doing here?"

Meng Lao Er asked back, "Why are you still alive?"

"You mother is still hoping that Yeye will die early?" Liang Jing scolded.

"When the emperor entered the land of Shu, there was news that you and your concubine were killed by the rebel army on some slope. The younger brother wept when he heard it. He built a tomb for you that day, and got drunk in front of the grave. Howled for a while. If you don’t believe me, ask these brothers!”

The evil boys behind Meng Laoer nodded.

"Where did you get my clothes?" Liang Jing was puzzled.

"Back when our brothers went to the brothel together, you had no money to pay the bill, and you ran away in a hurry, pulling Te Niang's obscene pants to the prostitute. The prostitute said, if you don't pay, you will take your obscene pants later. Hanging outside the city gate, it says Liang Jing's obscene trousers. Damn, my younger brother gave the money to redeem the obscene trousers. I haven't told you about this. No, last time I took these obscene trousers as a You were buried."

"Fuck!"

Liang Jing punched Meng Lao Er's shoulder hard.

Meng Laoer also punched back, and the two looked at each other with their arms together, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"

Meng Lao Er turned around, "Come on, I should get drunk because of this matter today."

Liang Jing stopped, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Why is this?"

Second Meng asked.

"fine!"

Liang Jing smiled, thinking that he was considered a non-staff member, and now that he was resting, he would not be afraid to drink some wine, so he followed them to find a place to drink.

"How much? Three dollars? Maybe cheaper?"

"Change!"

I found a few restaurants, and the prices of wine and food have all gone up.

"Damn! This is seeing the army coming, so let's sit on the ground and raise the price!"

Meng Er Er was cursing.

Liang Jing said with a smile: "Damn your mother! Just find a restaurant to treat!"

"Brother Liang...has gotten rich?"

Second Meng asked.

"Let's talk after drinking!"

"it is good!"

Immediately after finding a restaurant, Liang Jing went in and said, "Just serve the good wine and good food!"

"Good Le!"

After several glasses of wine, Liang Jing asked, "Why did you come here?"

Meng Lao Er was chewing on the beef, picked up the wine glass, reluctant to send the beef down with the wine, so he chewed desperately, and only after swallowing did he have time to answer.

"The emperor... no, the false emperor, after the false emperor entered Shu, mother, it was okay at first, there are more nobles, Tongcheng is also much more prosperous, we can also make more money with those businessmen!"

Meng Laoer and his gang are collecting protection fees, and the merchants gave him money. If there is any trouble, whether it is official or otherwise, he will take the lead.

"But a while ago, the puppet emperor suddenly raised the business tax, and those merchants were complaining. You know, I am the most loyal brother. Seeing those merchants have a hard time, can I still peel them off? I have no choice but to To be able to leave the land of Shu to ask for a living. Not for myself, but also for these brothers."

Meng Laoer raised his head and drank the wine, and said very comfortably: "It's been a long time since I've had such fine wine."

"How do you say about my brother and sister in Shu?" Liang Jing asked.

"Tell me that you and the imperial concubine were at...Luofengpo! You were killed by the rebel army there. The elder sister, mother and son escaped and were killed by the magistrate. The younger brother confirmed this, and it is true. Therefore, the younger brother feels that you must be It's unpredictable."

Meng Laoer took two slices of beef into his mouth and chewed, suddenly startled, "Brother Liang, how did you escape?"

"I was saved by His Majesty." Liang Jing said.

"Pseudo-emperor?"

"Bullshit! It's Your Majesty today!"

Meng Laoer took a picture of the table, "This is the protection of the ancestors! Hey! By the way, Brother Liang, what are you doing with the army this time?"

"Nothing, just hang around!" Liang Jing said with a smile, "Why, you want to join the army too?"

"Think about it!" Meng Lao Er said, "My little brother always wants to follow the army into Sichuan in his dreams. Anyway, he can be regarded as returning home."

"Brother Liang, can you do something?" A wicked young man raised his glass and asked.

"This matter...you can try it."

"Thank you Brother Liang!"

Evil boys raised their glasses.

Liang Jing didn't dare to drink too much, so he left later, and asked them to wait outside the state house tomorrow.

Back in the state, the emperor just came out of the bath and was reading the documents.

"His Majesty!"

"Liang Qing." The emperor asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"I met a few old friends from the Shu region before, and I inquired about it. On the other side of the Shu region, the false emperor is already fishing for money."

"Oh!"

"The false emperor raised the commercial tax several times, and the merchants complained endlessly..."

As a businessman, you can fight for it!

The emperor knew it well.

"Farmers' taxes have also increased, otherwise they would not be able to feed the army."

"This is self-inflicted!"

The emperor said with satisfaction: "Let's go out with you, a local snake, and it really pays off."

Liang Jing took advantage of the situation and proposed a few evil young men who wanted to serve with the army and lead the party to make meritorious deeds.

The emperor smiled and said, "It's a small matter, you can ask Wu Da."

"Yes!"

After Wuda learned that it was the emperor who nodded, he naturally did not refuse.

These people belong to scattered personnel and cannot be mixed in the army, they can only hang out with Wu Da and the others.

On the morning of the second day, Liang Jing waited for Meng Laoer and the others outside the prefecture.

"Brother Liang, how are you?" Elder Meng asked eagerly.

"Yeah, you're doing something, so you still need to ask?"

Everyone cheered, and someone inside spoke at this time.

"Nan Zuncheng lies in front of the army, Zhao Yong asked for instructions whether to attack."

"Don't fight, save it for the New Year? Immediately send infantry to assist and let Lan Jian go."

Following this voice, a group of civil and military officials came out surrounded by the emperor in plain clothes.

The emperor glanced at the evil young men, nodded slightly to Liang Jing, and then said as he walked, "The army hastened to rest and recuperate. After taking Nan Zun, they will advance immediately. I want to see what the atmosphere of Shu in the autumn wind is like!" "

The young men were dumbfounded.

"That is……"

"That's His Majesty!"

"The ancestor has manifested." Meng Er Er was so excited that he couldn't control himself, knelt down and said, "I have seen Your Majesty!"

The emperor turned around and nodded slightly.

"His Majesty smiled at me!"

The second Meng stood up excitedly, and said, "Brother Liang, my younger brother is willing to lead the army!"
