world festival

Lu Fang felt bitter in his heart, returned to the cabin and collapsed on the couch, unconsciously falling asleep.I don't know how many hours later, I vaguely heard someone knocking on the door outside, got up and opened the door to see, it was Wang Fo'er.Fo'er clasped his hands and reported: "The army is camping, and General An's boat is right next to you. The banquet at night is just how to arrange it."

Lu Fang didn't answer, walked to the ship's side, looked around, saw hundreds of large ships moored in the depths of the water, with masts like forests, and the Huainan camp on the shore was even more severe, with continuous battles, above the big river, the setting sun in the distance It is like blood, reflected on the banner in the distance, as if the banner was soaked in blood, and I feel a sense of killing, full of heaven and earth, and a Tang poem in middle school can't help but come out of my mouth: "The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, the long river The sun is setting." When I said this, I got stuck, and I couldn't remember the next two sentences.After a while, Lu Fang turned around and told Wang Fo'er: "You go and arrange the food and drinks, it's better, a certain person will invite General An to come over in person, by the way, that Wang Xu at noon, the captain guarding the east gate of Haozhou, will also be called over. You do it."

Wang Foer promised, turned around and left.

Huainan Army Water Camp, Lu Fang was on a boat, more than a dozen candlesticks in the cabin were full, lighting up the cabin like daylight, six or seven people sat on the floor, the table in front of them was full of grilled fish, yokan and other snacks.The one sitting at the top was An Renyi, accompanied by Lu Fang, besides the king Xu Du who was a close friend of the two, the atmosphere was quite lively.After drinking for three rounds, An Renyi smiled and said to Lu Fang: "Commander Lu, a certain An Renyi is from Shatuo, and he doesn't pay attention to etiquette like you Han people. Today's banquet only talks about friendship and archery skills. It's not as good as your brother." commensurate."

Lu Fang declined with a smile and said: "General An is a hero in this world, how can we be so backward, it's not a mess. It must be done."

"You Han people just don't like it," An Renyi grimaced, grabbed Lu Fang's right arm, and reprimanded: "Back then, a certain person was just a pawn. Who would have thought of becoming a dignified governor of Runzhou? A hero in the world today I'm afraid that there is no high position to do it, and after a few years, you and I still don't know who is in the high position."

Lu Fang couldn't help it, so he had to say: "Brother An, this is overstepping." Then An Renyi turned his anger into joy, and casually pulled a close aide who came with him, and asked Lu Fang: "Brother Lu, do you still remember this person. "

Lu Fang took a closer look. This person's face was black and red, but his face was well-defined, with a high nose and deep eyes, and slightly curly hair. He was obviously from Shatuo like An Renyi, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. This person could only shake his head and smiled: "This brother must be a good man under Brother An's command, but I can't remember where I saw him, this is really rude."

An Renyi pushed the man in front of Lu Fang, and said: "It's normal for Brother Lu not to recognize him, boy, you led troops to protect the caravan, and were beaten to a mess by Brother Lu, let's see if you dare to underestimate the world." Hero, hurry up and thank Brother Lu for saving your life." The latter part was addressed to his confidants.

Reminded by An Renyi's words, Lu Fang remembered that this person was the cavalry spy in the caravan that day, the one who lied to his wife and brother by hiding on the side of the horse.Later, Gao Chong brought the caravan back to Huainan, among the remaining dozens of guards, there was this person.Thinking of this, he quickly picked up the person who was about to kneel down to thank him, and said: "I offended Jiedu Huwei that day, and it was a death penalty. It is a blessing to escape with my life, how dare I accept your obeisance."

But the man knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said in unison, "Li Rui and Li Yongxin usually think they understand the art of war, but when they accompanied Wang Qinian to guard the caravan, they were easily defeated by Commander Lu. There is a day beyond the sky, today I begged General An to come and thank you, but I still want to ask a question, and I ask Lu Sima to enlighten me." He spoke humbly, but his eyes were full of challenges.

"It seems that An Renyi didn't just come to eat tonight, so why did he come?" Lu Fang thought to himself, but replied: "I don't dare to teach, but we can discuss together."

"That day the caravan was destroyed by Commander Lu. After thinking about it carefully, I also felt that Captain Wang did not make any mistakes, but I don't know if Lu Sima moved to another place, what strategy would be available?" Li Rui obviously After thinking about it in my heart for a long time, I stopped being polite and blurted out the question.

When Lu Fang heard this, he thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Wang Xiaowei has a long history of family education, and he used soldiers bravely. When a certain side attacked at the beginning, he first sent you to deceive a certain wife and brother, so as to stimulate a certain side to attack when the equipment is not complete. , and then used fire to attack, causing chaos in the formation of a certain party who was attacking upwards. They took the opportunity to cover up the attack with iron cavalry, and the infantry then suppressed it with a dignified formation. All of them were in line with Sun Wu's law. There is no way to do better.”

Speaking of this, Lu Fang paused, seeing the mocking and contemptuous expressions in the eyes of An Renyi and Li Rui, he casually tapped the wine glass in front of him, and drew the battlefield situation of that day on the table in front of him. , explaining in his mouth: "Later, I thought about it a few times, remembering that I heard someone say it when I was learning chess in the past; Turning adversity into success is the same with the art of war. The caravan party is weak, so it is even more difficult to stick to it. If the dozens of cavalry do not return to the camp at the beginning, they hide in the distance, and the sky will gradually darken , there is a huge gap between a certain number of armies, and there is no way to stop them. When you repeatedly harass at night, most of the certain army is mobs. How dare you attack with all your strength, we have a large population, and we will not have enough food that day. At that time, I am afraid that the family ancestors have spirits if they can escape completely."

"Okay!" An Renyi slapped his thigh fiercely, and shouted loudly: "This cavalry is a separate and reunited soldier. This is how cavalry is used. After listening to Brother Lu's words today, it's really a pleasure. Come on, everyone in the seat is drunk This is for Brother Lu." The leader raised the wine cup in his hand, Li Rui's eyes were full of reverence, and he said in his mouth: "I was defeated by Commander Lu that day. I really don't feel wronged. Thank you so much. The grace of not killing the sun." After saying that, he drank the wine in the cup.

All the people in the seat drank up the wine one after another. For a while, everyone called brothers and brothers, and the atmosphere was very happy.Suddenly An Renyi pointed at a person and shouted: "Who are you, why don't you drink?" The atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became tense, and everyone followed An Renyi's finger to look, the person was kneeling in front of the desk, the food and drink in front of him remained untouched, There was no expression on his face, it was Wang Xu, the captain of the Jiangjun Academy.

All of Lu Fang's cronies knew in their hearts that they secretly rejoiced at the opportunity to punish this fellow, and decided to chop off his head.Li Rui stood up and asked: "Everyone is having a feast here, but you are so disappointing, aren't you a member of Mo Xiedu?"

Wang Xuhuo stood up suddenly, threw the wine cup in his hand on the ground, pointed to Lu Fang and said, "I bought hundreds of robes for him, and the crossbow was shot on fire, and the bones were not cold. Zhang Cishi's head is still hanging in the city of Haozhou. On the door. If you want to have a feast with him here, it’s not you, a Shatuo barbarian who doesn’t know etiquette.”

Li Rui was furious when he heard the words, he pulled out his horizontal knife backhand and shouted: "You gang of thieves were not slaughtered in the city that day, so stay here and talk more, and I will send you to see those dead ghosts today." Li Rui was about to stab him, but his wrist snapped When he was in pain, someone snatched the knife away, and heard An Renyi shout: "Presumptuous, we are guests tonight, this person is the person of Commander Lu, how to deal with it will be your turn when."

Li Rui hurriedly took a step back, bowed to apologize to Lu Fang, but saw an extremely burly man standing behind Lu Fang, holding his own horizontal knife in his palm like a cattail fan, and felt cold sweat on his forehead.

Lu Fang stretched out his hand to help Li Rui up, took back the horizontal knife and handed it back to him.He said a few words of comfort.Turning around, he said to Wang Xu: "I thought you had hit the first place at noon, so I promoted you to have a banquet with General An in the evening to learn the art of archery and warfare. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant. Forget it, you go back, so I want to think about it." think."

Seeing that Lu Fang didn't punish him, Wang Xu's expression changed slightly, he didn't speak, bowed and gave a military salute, turned around and was about to leave.But I heard An Renyi say behind his back: "Wait a minute, you were originally a Bian soldier guarding the east gate in Haozhou city?"

"Exactly." Wang Xu turned around and replied.

"You look like this, I think you hate Brother Lu for breaking that Haozhou with tricks and killing some of your robes, but this art of war is tricky, and Xuanwu and Zhu San have done so many things, why don't you hold any grudges? As for him, Namou asks you, if Xuanwu Town treats soldiers like you whose family members are far away, how will they deal with them before the big battle."

The muscles on Wang Xu's face twitched a few times, but he gritted his teeth tightly and didn't say a word.

An Renyi was not angry, Man Sheng continued on alone: ​​"Surrendering troops like you, and your family is far away, you must not be able to collect them for your own use. The guards will also cost troops, and keeping them is a waste of food. It is better It's a slaughter. Is what a certain person said right?"

Wang Xu paled and nodded slightly.

"I heard that when Li Shenfu entered the city that day, he wanted to kill all the Bian soldiers in the city, but Brother Lu begged for mercy before letting them go, but you look like this. It seems that such a good person can't do it." An Renyi said It was easy to say, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Xu. Wang Xu's face was pale, he bowed in salute, turned around and left, staggered, and was tripped by the threshold when he went out, which showed that he was out of his mind .

After watching Wang Xu leave, An Renyi drank a cup and said: "Brother Lu heard that he was born in a farming family, so he understands the reason why he wants to farm. If the weeds in the field are not removed, the seedlings will not grow luxuriantly. The harvest is not good." Having said that, he paused for a moment, took a meaningful look at Lu Fang, patted Li Rui on the shoulder and continued: "I hit it off with Brother Lu, Li Rui has nothing to do, but he has an advantage. He has a strict mouth, he has 500 people under his command, if brother Lu wants to take care of some things in the field, just tell him."
