Song Dynasty

Chapter 279 Confirmation ([-])

"I am delighted with her beauty, but my heart is vibrating and not happy. An unscrupulous matchmaker uses it to pick up the joy, and uses the microwave to communicate. I hope that the sincerity will be the first to achieve, and the jade pendant will be untied. It is the letter of the beautiful woman..."

Ximei blushed with anger, and threw the pen aside, feeling her heart beating non-stop.

She gritted her teeth and said: "This vulgar and rude martial artist...I want Brother Yao to kill you, I want Brother Yao to kill you..."

"What are you, unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."

However, there was the shadow of the fat middle-aged man in front of him, with a mocking smile on his brows, looking both annoying and annoying...

In fact, he is not smelly, the military officer is upright, he has a dignified appearance, and he has a compelling majesty.

And this kind of momentum, in the army, no one can match it except for the beloved brother Yao.

Ximei held the pen and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, but her expression was infatuated.

……

"Tie Zhu, sit down." Yang Yao affectionately asked Niu Gao who had just entered the door to sit down, and then asked someone to bring a bowl of tea.

Niu Gao took a sip, and his eyes lit up: "Sweet, good tea, it's not easy to drink such good tea in this remote village."

I saw that the bowl of tea was golden yellow, and there were fried rice, peanuts, raw sauce and pork in it, and a lot of sugar.

"This is Camellia oleifera from our south, especially the sucrose, which is not easy to get, even for me, it is not so easy to drink it on weekdays." Yang Yao said with a smile: "By the way, I know that Tie Zhu is very skilled in martial arts, but I don't know Knowing that you are so strong, now you really feel like you are invincible in all three armies, Yan Zhao is so generous and tragic, Hebei is so heroic, it really is."

"The three-legged cat's ability is only honed by life and death on the battlefield a few times, it's a joke for Brother Yao." Niu Gao said modestly.Manichaeism is called Mingjiao by the world, also known as Demon Cult.Since it is a demon sect, the people in the sect are also very evil, and what they practice is the law of the jungle where the jungle preys on the jungle.The superiors bully the subordinates, and the strong bully the weak.

As soon as Niu Gao entered Lianyun Village, some disciples came to trouble him.

Niu Gao knew that he couldn't give in under such circumstances.I can't take care of so much, anyway, just one word "怪."

Relying on his extraordinary martial arts, he defeated those cult followers in just a few days.

"If this is called the ability of a three-legged cat, what else is it?" Yang Yao sighed: "Since Brother Zhong started the incident, I have been fighting again and again. Although the number of people in the team is fighting more and more, the older brothers who were able to fight have fought one after another. Martyrdom, warriors like you are rare. You must know that my apologists are the elite of the army, and there is still a shortage of many officers. I plan to recommend you to Brother Zhong as a commander. .”

Niu Gao pretended to be ecstatic, turned over and bowed down: "Thank you Brother Yao for your support."

Yang Yao helped him up with a smile, and said: "But, you are a newcomer, and you will be a commander just two days after entering the Fa. I'm afraid others will not accept it, so you have to make some contributions."

Niu Gao: "Brother Yao, just give an order, Tie Zhu will never frown."

Yang Yaodao: "Wang Shen's thieves are rampant, and my teacher loses cities and lands again and again. The situation is already extremely difficult. Brother Zhong and I both want to temporarily withdraw to the south to avoid its edge. At least in the short term, we will not fight with Sizhou again. The army fights a big battle, and you only harass it with a small team. I'm afraid you won't be able to use all your martial arts. The thing is, the king thief has practiced some kind of evil formation recently. The warriors I taught are very passive, and the casualties are huge. But it's worrying."

The evil formation he was talking about was naturally the mandarin duck formation.

Yang Yao looked worried, and even had a trace of fear: "This formation is also strange. No matter what methods our army uses, we can't get close to the soldiers of Sizhou. Usually more than a hundred people form a small formation of 11 people. In the end, no one was killed or injured, but our army was in a state of disarray. Now, a large number of wounded are being sent from Dingzhou. They are all god brothers, so we can't control them. Naturally, we should treat them well. Brother Tie, your medical skills are not bad , Sister She also has a little understanding of Qihuang, I want you to be responsible for treating the wounded soldiers. When you have credit, I will talk to Brother Zhong Xiang about you being the commander."

"So that's it. Don't worry, Brother Yao. The villain still has some experience in treating golden sores. After all, I have fought in Hebei for so many years. If I don't even understand this, I will not live to this age." Suddenly, Niu Gao thought As soon as he moved, a large number of wounded were sent to Lianyun Village. Could it be that this is really Zhong Xiang's false imperial court: "Brother Yao, you said you want to support villains, so do you mean that the officials are coming to Lianyun Village?"

"This age... Indeed, you are a bit older." Yang Yao didn't answer, but looked at Niu Gao's face for a long time before sighing: "You don't look old, go, go, go."

The three words "strike" confused Niu Gao.

After Yang Yao sighed, he suddenly asked: "Tie Zhu, you are already married, do you have any family members in your hometown?"

Niu Gao: "I'm so old, how can I not get married?" Isn't this nonsense, Lao Niu is a majestic and dignified gentry in his hometown in Henan. Since he was 15 years old, the threshold of his family was almost broken by matchmakers.

"Ah, so it is like this!" Yang Yao looked disappointed, and suddenly there was a blaze of anger in his eyes.

But, hearing Niu Gao's next words, the anger in his eyes was instantly extinguished.

Niu Gao: "I don't know what the hell the villain saw. He was born with the name of the lone star of the evil spirit, and his parents died of illness at the age of 16. The wives who came in the door died one by one. Either they were dystocia or sick, and they were buried in one breath." I married three wives, and I didn't want to get married anymore. Up to now, my hometown was destroyed by war, and we are alone, so we naturally have no family members."

Speaking of this, Niu Gao was a little downcast.There are three kinds of unfilial piety, having no offspring is the greatest, and one's own reputation is really shameful.

"Killed three wives in one breath?" Yang Yao was taken aback, and then laughed: "This is indeed a bit strange, why not, you have entered the law now, and the Great Ming will protect you. Believe me Your honor, as a disciple of the God Sect, no matter what kind of lonely fate you are, it will also be changed."

Niu Gao didn't think so, and just responded casually: "Brother Yao, you are right."

Yang Yao continued: "Although people in my god religion are called brothers and sisters, there is no difference between men, women, and children. But a man and a woman work together all day, and it is not nice to say it. My sister is sixteen this year and has not yet Xu family. Since Brother Tie Zhu has the heart, I agree."

Like a thunderbolt hitting Niu Gao's head, he was dumbfounded: "Yes?"

Yang Yao thought that Niu Gao was stupefied with joy, and said with a smile, "I know what you think about Ximei. Otherwise, why would you copy 'Yu Qingyue is beautiful and beautiful, and my heart is shaking and not happy. There is no good matchmaker to pick it up. Huanxi, relying on microwaves to communicate. May the sincerity be the first to achieve, and you want it when you untie the jade pendant.' With her. Ximei holds your words and reads them repeatedly all day long, silly and laughing. I am an older brother. You're not stupid, how can you not see it."

He sighed: "I'm just such a biological sister. When my parents died, I still talked about her marriage. Brother Tie is capable of both literature and martial arts. He must be a talent in the future. If he wants to, he can take care of her for the rest of his life. It's settled like that, Zhong The eldest brother came to say that he would come to Lianyunzhai in half a month. At that time, I will ask him to marry you and my younger sister, and your command and title will also be indispensable to you."

Niu Gao couldn't help but tremble. After sneaking into the Manichaeism for so many days, he kept his head down and became a small boy. He was so depressed that he died. Now he finally got the news he wanted.

"Brother Yao, is this true?" I felt short of breath.

Yang Yao glanced at him in surprise: "Are you anxious to see Brother Zhong?"

Niu Gao deliberately said angrily: "I think I, Tie Zhu, is quite old, and I was a man of prestige back then in my hometown in Hebei. Now I'm just a small deputy team in the cottage, and I can't live up to my abilities. Officer My family has made such a great cause, and the Divine Sect is employing people. Brother Yao just said that he would recommend a villain to His Majesty, and I am very excited, and I can’t wait."

Seeing his expression of enthusiasm for fame, Yang Yao said with a smile: "Brother Tie, don't worry too much. A man should make a career to live up to this life. Brother Zhong will come here soon, maybe It won't take half a month."

Having said that, the smile on his face disappeared, and he became depressed.

Seeing his expression, Niu Gao was puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yao, what's the matter?"

Yang Yao sighed: "Recently, our army has lost more than we won, and the situation has become dire. The Sizhou army is stronger than ever, especially after creating that strange formation where squads harassed squads, our army's territory has gradually been eroded and divided. It was broken into countless small pieces. The troops were in disarray, and it was no longer possible to gather quickly. Now it is difficult to organize a big war. There are hundreds of thousands of congregants, and every battle, there are only hundreds or thousands of people who are really difficult to fight. Now, only I can bear it. If it is impossible, I will withdraw from Dingzhou and move to Tanzhou or even the Hengshan area. Xu is the plan. Tanzhou is rich and rich, and the previous one was ravaged by the Jurchens, and the officials fled. It is suitable for us to go."

Niu Gao was taken aback: "No."

Just kidding, if the Manichaean demon fled to Tanzhou, wouldn't the battle have to be fought for a long time, and it is impossible for Wang Daosi and the Beiwei army to stay in Hunan for a long time.Once the battle to regain Xiangyang starts, the Manichaeism will hit Jianghan's hometown behind the scenes, it will be fatal.

Therefore, Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao must be beheaded in the shortest possible time to get rid of this serious trouble.

Yang Yao: "Why not?"

Niu Gao: "Ding, Li, and Chen prefectures have been operated by our gods for many years, and the people have a bright heart. If Tanzhou is withdrawn, it will not be so easy to recruit soldiers or food, and the troops will not be replenished."

Yang Yao: "Why don't I know this, but Wang Shenshi's ferocious tiger has an endless supply of food and fodder from Jianghan, but we can't exhaust him! In fact, Brother Zhong thinks the same as you, especially when something happened recently. A while ago, Wang Shen changed Li Cheng's ruthless attitude that once he captured my disciples, he released them all back. He also put a tag in his hair, which said, "If the Lord rests, I will rest, and I will rest as usual." Take a boat and flow eastward.’ To the effect that if you don’t come to beat me, I won’t beat you. I’m going to develop eastward now, and everyone will not violate the river.”

Niu Gao: "Wang Shen wants to go east?"

Yang Yao sneered: "Is it possible? Wang Shen's root is in Jianghan, and now Cao Cheng is eyeing Xiangyang. How can he go east with peace of mind? It's just to slow down our army's morale."

As he said that, he sighed: "But Brother Zhong believed it. The previous decree said that it is all right now. The thief Wang is finally leaving, and everyone can finally live a peaceful life for a few days. He also said that Dongting Lake has completely disappeared. Corruption, the soldiers have no food and clothing, let me first come to Lianyunzhai to manage, and when the camp is repaired, he will lead all civil and military officials to come here for the winter. Everything will be discussed in the spring of next year."

Niu Gao was elated when he heard it, but on the surface he sighed: "So what can I do if I stay in this cottage, why not go to Tanzhou?"

"Who says it's not? Brother Zhong was defeated by the Sizhou army." Yang Yao shook his head: "However, he is an official, and since he made an order, we can only carry it out. Fortunately, I even The terrain of Yuanzhai is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is a good place to rest and recuperate, it is good for the soldiers to rest for a month or two."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and turned his head to the back of the screen and said, "Xiaomei, everything is settled, are you satisfied?"

The sound of a stool being knocked to the ground came from behind "Peng". It turned out that Ximei was eavesdropping behind the screen.

Niu Gao hurriedly bowed down again, pretending to be ecstatic: "Thank you brother Yao, thank you brother Yao, Tie Zhu swears to be loyal to the divine religion forever, and to love Ximei for the rest of his life. If he violates this oath, Tie Zhu will be killed by thousands of arrows piercing his heart." If you die, you will fall into hell forever, without reincarnation."

Yang Yao helped him up, her eyes were slightly red: "I'm just this girl, if I can find someone she likes to belong to, this can be regarded as an explanation for the dead parents. One family, let's not talk about two families , don’t leave yet, let’s have a meal as a family of three!”

……

"General Niu, how is it?" When Niu Gao came back, Wei Hui asked quietly, "Are you all right?"

Niu Gao breathed out the alcohol: "Yang Yao treated me to a table of wine, do you think I seem to be in trouble?"

Wei Hui: "That's good, that's good."

Niu Gao: "Master Wei, please bring a letter to the military envoy immediately. This is where Prime Minister Zhong's pseudo-imperial court is located. At the latest half a month, Zhong Yaokou will come here with all the officials and the main force. Please let him Immediately lead the main force to come over and encircle and suppress the demons, to get rid of this serious trouble, what I hope is the most important thing!"

In an instant, Niu Gao's face lost all drunkenness, and a sharp light burst out from his eyes.

At most half a month, the battle of Hunan will be over. With this credit, I can finally gain a foothold in the Sizhou Army, and I finally lived up to the trust of the military envoy.

The military envoy said that once Hunan is pacified, the main force of the Sizhou army will go north to eliminate Cao Cheng, and use troops against Henan to recover the occupied land.

"Henan... in my hometown in the Central Plains, I, Lao Niu, have been thinking about leading my troops to fight back all the time these few months. I want to avenge the folks and elders who died on the battlefield."

Looking at the fiery sunset outside, Niu Gao felt a sense of pride in his heart, and remembered what Wang Shentong said himself: "The duty of a soldier is to protect, protect the homeland, protect the folks, elders, and relatives. The army does not belong to any one person. Whether it is the court, the government or my king. The army belongs to the people, and belongs to the people of our Han family."

You're right, you're right, if soldiers like me can't even protect our relatives and homes, what kind of face can we stand in the world.

The blood boiled in my heart, as if it was burning.

At this time, he wished he could grow wings and fly to the vast land of Henan, the yellow land with turbulent wheat waves.

However, at this moment, a slender figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Ximei...Xiaomei... When the day comes, how should I face her?
Niu Gao shook his head, trying his best to suppress this thought: a man was born in the world, serving the country and the people, even though he died nine times without regrets, what is a mere woman?
