Chapter 15 The Fifteenth Chapter: The Innocent Warrior Drank Tea and Bragged while the General Drives to Analyze the Enemy's Situation
Ji Yun and Ji Du rode horses and rode side by side, and their words were very speculative. Only then did they know that Zhao Hui had come all the way from southern Xinjiang. The food officials rushed over for a meeting. Hai Lancha was also coming in Changji, and some reported that they would arrive at the Tianshan camp in half an hour. Because of Qianlong's imperial decree, the next step in military affairs was planned, and the three generals were going to meet for a meeting. He is the landlord of the host country, so naturally he took the first step and met Ji Yun by chance.During the conversation, Ji Yun also found out the details of Ji Du, the so-called "Confucian generals" and so on, in fact, they have very little literacy, and even the "second-handed forks" like Zhaohui Hailancha are far from being able to catch them. , but he likes to turn texts, "Mala Bazi" and "Ziri Shiyun" messed around, and for most of his life, he also earned the title of "Confucian General".Thinking of myself taking other people's conversations as a matter of seriousness, I couldn't help laughing secretly.Najidu didn't hide traitors at all, seeing him covering his mouth from time to time, he asked, "You're making fun of me for my ignorance, right?"
"Yes, I heard people say that you are a Confucian general." Ji Yun said honestly, "Sure enough, the words must be called Confucius and Mencius Quotations, which is worthy of the word 'Confucianism', and the command of a hundred thousand soldiers in the desert is worthy of the word 'General'. This cannot It’s called ignorance without learning, Confucius and Mencius are the foundation of learning, and generals are the appearance of skills, which is the real learning.”
Ji Du was overjoyed, and said: "Mr., these words are the most suitable for my taste! Confucius and Mencius are the foundation of learning, and generals are the appearance of art—well, just these two sentences, please write them out for me tomorrow, and send someone to Xi'an to frame them." Hang it up on my military account." Then he asked, "What mission do you want to do? Just stay in my signing room, read the booklet and write a note or something, and explain the way of sages to the generals in your spare time. After visiting the various armies, Zhaohui and the others can also hang around there to relax, wouldn't it be great?" Ji Yun said with a smile: "That's a good thing, but the emperor asked me to suffer. Some people gossip, but it hurts you." Ji Du laughed loudly with his whip, and said, "Which son of a bitch dares? You still think this is Beijing? Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and people like you kill people like grass and don't hear you." Being able to stay here means suffering, what else do you want?" Ji Yun said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll just follow the orders of the goalkeeper of the army."
The two were chatting and laughing on the horse, and they had already arrived outside the gate of the Tianshan camp. There were more than a hundred guerrillas, generals, battalion lieutenants, battalion managers, deputy generals and subordinates, who had already stood outside the gate. Greeting, seeing Ji Du coming, they beat Qian'er together to salute, and shouted: "Ji Dajun's gate is safe!" Ji Yun is an exiled prisoner, so he was naturally terrified. He grabbed it, pointed at the crowd with a whip, and said: "This is my Teacher Ji, our Daqing's ha-the number one talent. The emperor sent him here, um, he will suffer a little bit and make some merit. Go be the great prime minister to govern us..." Ji Yun waved his hands when he heard his nonsense preaching, and said, "Ah... no no no, I dare not..." Ji Du cut him off and laughed: "Forget it Well, I’ve been with the emperor for decades! I don’t know yet—that’s it, it’s the first job when you come here, you guys, oh—respect him like you respect your old brother! Do you hear me?”
"tie!"
"True!"
As soon as Ji Du urged his mounts, a group of angry horses rushed into the gate like a dragon, and dismounted straight at the door of the conference hall. Ji Du ordered: "The small courtyard on the west side is assigned to Mr. Ji, and a study room and a living room are arranged for him. A fellow came to cook and provided according to the councilor's monthly salary." He said again, "Lao Zhao Lao Hai and the others are coming, I have to go to greet you, you can settle here, set up a fire by yourself, there are good people in my kitchen For food, just ask them. First boil some hot water and take a bath, we will meet up and call you again..." After nagging and exhorting a lot of words, he went.
At this time, it was getting late, Ji Yun took a hot bath, took off his shoes, didn't wear a hat, and went out for a walk in a loose robe.The meeting of the three generals in the yamen was under martial law, and no idlers moved around. The newly planted willows in the courtyard were only as thick as arms, dancing in the wind at dusk, very quiet and leisurely. The sunset glow is red, white jade-like crystals stand under the blue sky, it looks brilliant and unpredictable. The sparrows are looking for food at the top of the city, and they are flying up and down, a bit like the crows at dusk in the Drum Tower of Xi'an. The vast and far-reaching scenery is fascinating.Ji Yun couldn't help but think to himself that the holy ancestor Shizong and Emperor Qianlong worked hard for three generations and relentlessly managed this place, so it turned out to be such a great place!Turning around while sighing, he saw Yu Baoyun'an, Ma Si, Song Baozhu and four servants standing in front of the window of the earth-roofed house, their respectful appearance was exactly the same as when he had never lost power, he couldn't help sighing silently, and asked: "Four Have you fed it yet?" Baozhu hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Just now I went to the big room and ordered a set of lamb ribs, and I have already fed it!" Si'er had already heard it, and rushed out of the room with a yelp, and walked around She had fun on Ji Yun's knees, then crawled on her lap and stuck out her tongue to lick Ji Yun's hand.Ji Yun knelt down to caress it gently with his hand, and sighed with a smile: "Our men finally have a place to live and live." After that, he got up and went into the study room, sat cross-legged on the kang to write a diary, which was caused by accumulated habits and not here. Next.
When it was dark, Ji Yun heard a roar of "Zha——" in the meeting hall of the main courtyard in the east, as if many people agreed at the same time, and then the whole courtyard was full of footsteps, and occasionally some people were walking and talking and laughing, Ji Yun knew that the meeting was adjourned .The brass pen cap unifies the writing brushes, and he orders Baozhu to wash the inkstone and tidy up the paper and ink. Then he heard a few people approaching with laughter and chatter, and there was the buzzing and buzzing of Jidu, and Zhaohui only interjected a few words, Hailan Cha was still giggling and laughing, kicking his feet and twisting his legs, he shouted as soon as he entered the hospital: "Mr. Ji, you have finally retired after becoming famous and come to join Qiu Ba and the others." Ji Yun hurriedly greeted him with a smile, People held hands to exchange greetings, seeing Zhaohui Hailancha all wearing crimson fashions, said with a smile: "The red-robed double-gun general, the prestige remains the same as before. Zhaohui sees that the torso is bigger, and Hailancha is still funny. I I committed a crime and fell into the hands of the three, please take care of me as an old friend. I am a guilty person, you should take care of me."
These three are of the same rank, they are all generals, Jidu is a local Jianya stationer, Hailancha is the deputy general of the Western Expedition assisting Zhaohui's main force, Zhaohui is an imperial envoy, naturally he is the main one, a big hand full of calluses Holding Ji Yun's hand like pliers, he said with a smile: "You are home when you come here. We have always respected you as a teacher, and now you are still a teacher. You are a traitor who flattered you and wandered here. We know it well. The door hangs around for a while, it’s boring, you can go to our army or to Hailancha at will—Ji Laojunmen, there is no pork here, and pigs are not allowed to be slaughtered in Muslim areas. Master Ji wants to eat pork, so tell them to come from the inland Get some bacon, and vegetables. You won’t be used to the food here.”
Ji Yun's heart was scalded by these few words, tears were about to come out of his eyes, he shook his hand with both hands and said: "No need to worry about it, no need... I can eat beef and mutton too. Zhao Junmen, the words of a treacherous minister's flattery Don't say it again, I am a guilty person, and Long Live God will punish me as my crime... Spreading these words is not good for you."
"Yu Minzhong has already quit the Military Aircraft Department." Zhaohui said with a smile, "Liu Chongru Zhongtang sent a court order to ask if any of the officers in charge of the army had any personal contacts with him. Long Live God also rewarded us with many things." Because he told the situation of the reward, he said again: "We all know that he punished you. Ji Du was in Huguang at that time, and Yu Minzhong asked him if the Minister of Military Aircraft bought any land in Hanyang Mansion..." Ji Du Yun walked along, listening to him carefully, and was surprised to hear that something happened to Yu Minzhong, thinking about the chaotic and complicated personnel affairs inside, he couldn't figure out the clue of his "accident".Then he talked about He Shen, he said with a smile: "I didn't even think about it. I thought about my mistakes behind closed doors, thinking about my own mistakes, and I did have the crime of living up to the grace of God. Mr. He was also born in the army. Kang Shuang is self-happy and smart because of his talent. Be kind to others, and have no grievances or enmities with me, so that you will not trap me. Even Yu Minzhong, in my heart, I see him as a scholar, with a bit of a Taoist spirit, which is different from my academics. He has always respected himself, and his knowledge is not bad. How could you make it hard for me behind your back?" Hai Lancha, who was walking beside him, said with a smile: "Mr. Ji is also true. There is something taboo about talking in this place? They also said that He Shen was in the army, and he was with A Gui. I’ve seen the servant before—” He tightened his lips, as if he was disturbed by the way Agui usually ordered his servants to describe: “—Xiao Hezi, these are all my old brothers from Jinchuan. Good day Sooner or later, can I order a table?" Zhuan pursed his lips again, with a smile on his face, and it was Ji Yun's usual description of He Shen that he was clean, quick and pleasing, and there was a little whine in it He said softly: "Look at what Guijunmen said. They said yesterday that the younger ones went to the shop to make reservations. This kind of thing can't be done. What use are these young people in Guijunmen for?" After learning the image of the two, Hai Lancha turned back into himself, and said with a smile, "He wears a jacket and counts as an 'army'! It's a good character to serve Agui tea and pour a chamber pot, and to lick his ass. But , Now that I have licked the emperor, I don’t think Agui’s ass will smell good.” Ji Du is not familiar with He Shen, and hearing his teachings are interesting, he holds the general’s belly in both hands and laughs until his white beard trembles: “Every time I see you I have to talk about He Shen. I have seen him on both sides when I was in Beijing. It is true that he is friendly, but he has become a scumbag in your mouth." Zhaohui smiled and said: "Hai Lan is not bad at learning, he Just like paying a dick. Uncle Fu once said that the ancients really licked their asses. He Shen is not yet at that level, so he has to learn." Hai Lancha said: "This is just a comparison of his character. How can there be such a thing? Woolen cloth?"
"There are not only ass lickers, but also shit eaters." Ji Yun said with a smile, "The code of 'ass licking' comes from the fact that the soldiers of Chu State went to the north to fight, and their hands were cracked with cold. Someone made antifreeze medicine and beat it After winning the battle, the king of Chu rewarded the doctor with five cars. When the king of Chu got hemorrhoids, another person licked the hemorrhoids for him. The licking made the king happy, and he rewarded the doctor with 100 cars! After the defeat, he was imprisoned in the state of Wu and was eager to return home. Fu Chai, the king of Wu, got dysentery, so he went to pretend to be a filial son, picked up the excrement he pulled with his fingers, and sent it to his mouth to suck, saying: "The excrement has grain, and the king will be cured of his illness." Already!' There was an official in the Ming Dynasty who wanted to be promoted, but the prime minister was impotent, so he got some medicinal soup to wash himself, and he was promoted to the censor, so there was a 'washing bird censor' in the Ming Dynasty. Vanity Fair Don’t be surprised when something happens.” The three stories of licking hemorrhoids, tasting dung, and washing birds are all well-founded, and the generals all shook their heads and frowned while laughing with their noses and mouths deflated. Zhao Hui said: “Don’t tell me. These, if we don’t talk about these, we’re going to sit down and be careful to vomit.” Talking and laughing, the four climbed up the stairs, and saw that the Eight Immortals table had been placed next to the big sand table, and there was a No. 2 clay pot in the middle, piled high The tall one is hand-caught mutton, and there are no plates next to it, they are all sea bowls, all filled with green vegetables, green celery, spinach, Liba, cucumber are all cold salad, and there are green peppers and shredded pork.Palace fried magnolia slices, stir-fried chicken with leeks, and roasted eggplant with ginger and garlic—it’s June, not to mention the big meadows outside the cold frontier, even the Central Plains. It’s extremely rare to have such a table of dishes.Hailancha clasped his palms together and said, "Wonderful!" Ji Du was the host, and said with a smile, "I heard that the old cake (Nian Gengyao) is in Qinghai, and it is a fresh dish every day. I heard that you came here , came from Kuaima in Chengdu, half of the celery leaves and spinach are rotten... oh, um! It’s such a joy to have friends from afar. Uh, Confucius never tires of eating this fine food, and stewing it finely!” So please Zhaohui The lord, "You are an imperial envoy, go up! Hai Dahuai and I will accompany you sideways. Teacher Ji is a guest, and I will be opposite you."
So the four of them sat down as promised, and the soldiers brought in a large wine jar. Zhaohui smiled and said, "Mr. Ji can use wine. He just issued an order at the meeting. The three of us will accompany you with tea instead of wine. This is not hypocritical. If you don’t follow the rules you set, it’s not good for you to know.” Ji Yun hurriedly said: “I’m not good at drinking, you all know that everyone should be the same, everyone should be the same!” He asked Hai Lancha again, “Why does he always call You're 'big bad'?" Jidu laughed and said, "You didn't look at him like that, when he said bad things, did bad things, and smiled!" Hai Lancha said with a smile: "—— Next, you should say 'son' He said, "Must have been corrected. Mr. Ji is still not familiar with our Ji Laojun sect. No matter what the meeting talks about or discusses, if you first talk about something or someone, it must be followed by a quotation. I am a vassal." Philistine, he's arty, I'm not bad, but I can't compare to his goodness. Niang Niaocuo's brothers are better than dicks." Everyone laughed, raised the water bowl to touch, Everyone drinks a sip of tea to start the feast.Zhaohui said with a smile: "The generals in the world are like a forest. The one who is really studious and intelligent until he grows old is Ji Laojun. Although he is not very literate, he has to listen to the master's reading every day, and he listens to reciting. "Red Mansion" and "West Xiang, listen to them all. The last time Hai Lancha heard him speak "Chu Ci", saying that Qu Yuan loved male pets all his life, I said: "How can there be such a thing?" Hai Lancha said: "You didn't listen to Ji Lao The military gate said, "Yu You is so good at this, old and not old"?" After thinking about it, it is true. When I asked, Ji Laojun said, "You really dare to spoil the sages. What Qu Zi said here is "Qiu ", he likes this fashionable cloak, and he has liked it all his life." I don't pay much attention to these things. The master of "Qi Fu" became the word "blanket" after he read it evenly. The old military master himself said that it became the word "Qiu". Call him 'big bad'." Ji Yun said: "Teacher with one word is also an elegant thing, it's just a bit of a prank, there is a thing that is taboo for the relatives and the venerable."
Talking and laughing, they touch the bowl again.Hai Lancha said: "Drinking water as wine in such a manner, the bird fades out of your mouth. It's better to make a joke with the wine. I'll have one first. There is one--a poor scholar who headed home at noon in summer and walked to the door of the house In the aisle, his older sister was sitting and sewing, and the clothes worn by the poor family were all rotten, and the stuff in the crotch was exposed. ', his sister understood, blushed and pinched her legs, and the scholar entered the courtyard. The sister was secretly happy. Well-my brother will compose poems! She quietly told a rich lady next door that such and such, "The number one among my brothers is certain." This rich lady also has a younger brother who is studying in the school. Hearing this, she was not angry. She also sat in the gatehouse at noon the next day to embroider flowers, and cut a hole in her crotch to expose her legs. During the meal, her younger brother also came back, who knew that he just took a look at her and went straight in. She was anxious, so she asked, "Did you see it?"
'I see. ' Her brother said sullenly.
'what is that? '
'cunt hey? "
'Oh, how vulgar!That is lotus. '
'Sickle handle? ’ His brother nodded his head and said, ‘A shovel handle can go in too! '"
Hai Lancha even said that he showed his hands to show the divisions, all the soldiers standing around the court were all grinning, Ji Du burst out laughing when he heard that "true vulgarity" was said, Ji Yun was so excited, he blushed when he heard his jokes With a smirk on his face, Zhao Hui was a serious person, and said angrily, "You are also a famous general, you are just a ruffian!" Scratching his head, he said with a smile: "This is a joke in the mill, it's too unrefined. Let me be serious! ——There is a widow in our grandmother's village, and there is an empty field in front of the house. When we were young, we often went to play, beating hairy eggs, hitting uprights (handstands), stretching glazed eggs, and stealing dates and picking pears when we couldn’t stand it. I went there that summer and played there again , I accidentally kicked her bucket away. My friends ran away, and I wanted to go and asked her to hold her back and say, "Who are you wild child? Pay me for the bucket!" I was in a hurry , A man who hooped the barrel came from the south of the village. I pointed to it and said, "That's not my uncle. I'll ask him to hoop it for you!" I ran over, pointed to the widow's house and said, "That's my aunt. It's time for the board, you go and get the hoop.' After saying that, I slipped away." After finishing speaking, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea and vegetables without saying a word.Ji Yun asked: "Is there no more text?"
"I'm not here." Hailancha said nonchalantly, puffing out his cheeks and chewing chicken tendons. "I heard that the barrel was repaired, and the cooper asked for money. The widow asked, 'Why, aren't you his uncle?' The cooper Also stunned, asked: "Why, aren't you his aunt?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing, Zhaohui also laughed, and said: "I believe this story is really you." Then he said to Ji Yun: "Sir, there must be better ones, and I also say that everyone is Zuoshui." Ji Yun laughed. : "The word 'Zuoshui' is used in a funny way. Seeing the table, I thought of Yu Minzhong's treat. Agui and I went there, and Ma Erjiazi also joined in the fun. He asked the cook to make dishes , there are no vegetables in the temporary kitchen, shredded carrots, boiled soybeans in salt water, and a soft-shelled turtle, which is not fresh anymore. There are only three dishes. There are pears at home, which are also ripe. Cut a plate and serve them Serve with wine, the wine is also sour." The three generals laughed when they heard this, and Ji Yun said, "Everyone can't eat it, so he still knocked on the plate and said: 'Come on, please, please use it! This The radishes are grown by myself in my backyard. They are so crispy and fresh when they are planed and eaten right away!" Do you know, Ma Ermao, where have you ever eaten this kind of vegetable feast? He pointed to the plate again: "This is meat. Please use it, why is the old horse frowning?' I ordered with chopsticks and said, 'I haven't heard anyone say that all the sorrows in the world are nothing but pears (leave) and dead turtles (farewell)?'" Everyone was shocked when they heard that , Ji Yun suddenly thought of today's frontier fortress thousands of miles away, unknown life and death, his smile has turned into a wry smile.Hai Lancha is a very elf person, and he has seen through his mood, and said with a smile: "Send troops and put horses outside, tell a joke to relieve boredom, but Lao Zhao has many rules, meat and vegetables are better than others. 'Living pears and dying turtles' is better—let's brag! Let's see who can brag big without breaking, everyone please accompany him to drink more water!" Pointing to Zhao Hui, "You brag first!" Ji Du also mentioned enough Spirited, raised his eyebrows and said: "This suits my temperament best, please, please!"
"Okay, I'll get one!" Zhao Hui said with a smile, "My gun, you've seen it before, it's sharp! Sometimes I use it as a spearman. When I first entered Tianshan, I went hunting. When I saw a deer, I threw it with a 'day' sound. The aim was not good, so I threw it into the sky, poking a hole in the sky, and the water from the Tianhe River leaked down, and it became a Tianchi Lake!"
"It's nothing to you." Ji Du shook his head and said, "God repaired the sky later and it didn't leak. My knife accidentally struck the moon once, and the object was as hard as a stone, and the fire splashed out." Then I became a star in the sky. Ji Xiaolan wanted to smoke and look for flint and steel, but I said no, I’ll chop the moon and it will be there.” Ji Yun thought it was very interesting, and said with a smile: “Don’t worry about it, there’s nothing to do if the knife is missing. To kill the enemy, I have always smoked the fire by taking off the sun and pressing it on the smoke like fireballs, and then throwing the sun back after smoking."
Hai Lancha smiled and said: "When I fought Changji, I was surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers the first time I went out. It was really a place where the enemy soldiers were like a sea of swords and guns. I rushed and killed all day and night, and rushed out. Look, how did the black horse turn into a white horse? After thinking about it, I realized that it was a dangerous day, and it scared me. Wu Zixu passed Zhaoguan, didn’t he turn gray overnight?” Everyone listened, and looked at Jidu’s white hair. laugh.Hailancha said again: "It's really exhausting! I asked the cook to serve the meal quickly, and he said that the steamed buns were steamed, and each soldier would have one. My big one and my white horse ate it and put it into the buns. After more than 100 miles, there was still no stuffing, and after eating another 20 miles, a stone tablet was found, which said, 'This place is eighty miles away from stuffing'." Zhaohui said: "That's nothing. I'll be stationed in southern Xinjiang , inserted the horsewhip into the gate of the Chinese army, and who knows that the bamboo sprouted. It grew tall, reached the sky and blocked it back, so I had to coil up the Tianshan Mountain and grow horizontally. I coiled the Tianshan Mountain for three thousand circles, and it still kept growing. "Ji Yun asked, "Then we should be able to see it, where is it?" Zhaohui pointed to Hailan and said: "The cook steamed the buns, and the pets fell apart, so he chopped off my bamboo to repair the pets. It's time." Everyone applauded.
"What you said is not unusual." Ji Du shook his head again and again, and said, "Old Agui and I fought Su Shishisan, and there was also a swordsman who used the sword. His sword skills were amazing! He slashed him from morning to midnight, and accidentally split Shimen Mountain. Master Ji must have passed by when he came, and he had to walk for three days and three nights before he could get out of the knife. When he came back that night to see, My horse only had two front legs left, so I just rode back. It turned out that this kid also slashed at me and cut the horse in two! Pity my horse...how many years have I been with you... ..." He said, with tears in his eyes.
A few people were stunned before they realized it, and they couldn't help applauding loudly, "This cowhide blows well!" Hai Lancha said with a smile: "It's good, but the horse has lost its lower body, and we want to shoot you, where can we find a horse's butt? " Zhaohui said: "When you are unlucky, you will not be able to pat your ass. Just like Yu Minzhong, Long Live Lord is difficult for him to write, and he doesn't even dare to recognize the words of the sword." Hai Lancha touched his head and said : "I said, there is something on my mind, and I just want to brag. Didn't Agui copy the words written by the Long Live Lord to Yu Minzhong? We don't know them, so why don't you ask about them. "Speaking of getting up, he picked up a piece of paper from the corner of the big sand table—it was the one written by Qianlong to Yu Minzhong—and handed it to Ji Yun.Ji Yun took it and looked at it, and recognized all the words, but he didn't rush to say it, he just explained the meaning in detail.Seeing that he was only thinking about it, Zhao Hui said: "It's not too busy for a while, just go back and find a "Kangxi Dictionary" and look it up."
"This is actually a reprimanding edict." Ji Yun examined the paper and said, "You can understand the incoherence of the text. If you read the ten characters together, it is: faint, soft, yi, hao, tian, yi, sword, jiu , concubine, key. It has the style of writing on the ancient bamboo slips of the pre-Qin period." He dipped his finger in water and wrote the character "Kui" on the table, saying: "This character means a female monkey in the mountains in ancient times, a greedy beast. A greedy and greedy beast—the word "(女弓)" has a more sinister meaning, it is the title of "female official" in ancient times. When translated, it means "feminine, greedy, evil, power-chasing and chaotic people, who cannot escape the impeachment of the Haotian Mingjian Criminal Code" The meaning of "defeat". Fortunately, he doesn't know it. If he really recognizes it, it will scare his bones!" He thought about it again, "According to this crime, ten Yu Minzhong can't escape death. How could he stay? Under his Grand Bachelor? It’s impossible to guess.”
Everyone looked at the piece of paper on the dinner table and said nothing. It turned out that they were just curious and mysterious.After cracking it, it looks even more mysterious, and there is an inexplicable terror that makes people feel chills.Dazed for a while, because Ji Yun asked about Li Shiyao's news, Zhaohui said: "He's fine. He will be executed. If Yu Minzhong is here, he may be hooked up next year. Yu Minzhong's bad things are his fault." Auspicious, is also your good voice." His mood couldn't get out of the shadow of Min Zhong for a moment, and he said: "Don't look at He Shen, the generals are not afraid of him. Dian listened to Minzhong's lectures, he didn't talk much, he was very gloomy, he uttered clearly without hesitation, some of them had hidden needles in their mouths. A few of us came down to discuss, and we all said that this man is powerful, a bit like Fu Liuye, who can hold power and power Yes, it's a little frightening."
"He's fucking going to carry the sixth master's shoes! I think he looks a bit like Neqin, cold and gloomy!" Hai Lancha laughed, "Neqin just arrived in Jinchuan, everyone is afraid of him, what happened afterwards? His literacy is not as good as our Master Ji, and he has never led a soldier. He puts up a stick to scare people to eat, like the God of Plague in the temple. Does he scare people? Shit, no!" Zhaohui said: "You are a scumbag who sees stones without saying a word, kicks three feet, shits and pisses under the Buddha seat, a brat who is bold and unrestrained, who can compare with you?" Hai Lancha said: "I will I am afraid of the emperor, the kindness is too great, I have to be careful to repay it, and I am also afraid of Agui, so put on a straight face like this!" He imitated Agui, squinting at people with raised eyebrows, biting his gums and looking thoughtful, "Jinchuan breaks through the encirclement At that time, I thought about scratching the ear cliff. He was like this, and he rushed out after killing his blood. How dare he be contemptuous when he saw the real thing? ——Old Zhao, what kind of stuff is this? I was still thinking about it Why do you have such a thing in your arms when you are so focused on military and national affairs?" It turned out that while he was talking, he twisted his legs and started to feel restless, so he suddenly took out an embroidered shoe from Zhao Hui's arms, held it in his hand and said with a smile : "No wonder you are afraid of Taoists!"
The atmosphere that had already become a little dull suddenly became alive again.Ji Du laughed loudly and said, "I'm arty, and our Zhaoda imperial envoy is arty. Prostitutes are not allowed in the army, and you have to be careful of Yun'er brothers and sisters getting jealous of you."
"What kind of dry vinegar does she eat for no reason?" Zhao Hui smiled, "I'm a general, and I walk around with dozens or hundreds of people, let alone flirtatious, just take a look at them on the side of the road, and the military academies are aware of it. It was Hu Fugui who brought it back to Changji, Changji built the city, dug the moat to a depth of more than five feet, dug out such a shoe, just like our Central Plains women, are you surprised?" Hai Lancha smiled and held it in his hand. Playing with it, seeing Ji Yun reaching out to beg for a look, he hurriedly handed it over.Ji Yun took a closer look at the shoes, and saw a "golden lotus" that could only be grasped by three inches. The black market cloth was covered with blue cloth, and the red silk thread was trimmed and embroidered into the pattern of morning glory and dragon cloud, and the rose flowers tied with rose thread were brightly colored. , even the piping thread has not faded, and the stitches are fine and solid, a bit like the work in the needlework workshops in the mainland.While watching, he murmured to himself: "...This is incomprehensible. It has been buried for more than five feet, and it has been decades. Why is it not bad? Erut women don't bind their feet, so why is it like a crescent moon? There must be a destiny here. It’s a pity that the story can’t be determined.” After speaking, he paused and chanted: “The excavation of the city is deep, and the sound of the evil Xu is called Wanchu. The strange thing is full of attention, and the half-hooked crescent moon flowers invade..."
"Okay, okay! Jokes, bragging, textual research, and poetry, happy tonight!" Zhaohui stood up with a smile, and said happily, "Today, I have wronged you by substituting water for wine. When I lay down the Golden Rooster Castle to reward the three armies, we Have a good night with wine instead of water." Hai Lancha also got up to look at his watch, and scolded with a smile: "This watch can also play with clubs, mother, it's almost time." Then he said to Ji Yun, "Get up early tomorrow morning to catch up with me." Go to Changji, don’t pass it by now! You can settle here and teach us Jilaojunmen’s poems and so on, so that you can teach him to brag. If he has wronged you, we will all know if you post it. Now, Confucian generals are no longer "Confucianism". As long as you are here, no one can hurt you, and the credits will be recommended on the booklet, and your name is often seen in the emperor, so that's it!" Ji Du laughed: "Hurry up! Get out and do your errands, I will save it." Zhao Hui also shook hands with Ji Yun to say goodbye, resigned with a bow, and disappeared into the dark night.
Hai Lanzhao Zhaohui went out of the camp to ride, and went back to the station with the bridle, the cool breeze came, and the slight sweat on her body was gone just now.Hai Lancha asked: "Is the watermelon sold in the morning market in Beijing? There are also melons. I really feel greedy in my dreams..." Listening to his saliva, Zhaohui smiled and said: "Not only you are greedy, but also the subordinate soldiers. I The grain officer in the camp has already gone to Hami to purchase some raisins and cantaloupe. Tell your people to do some too. If there are no complaining soldiers, you can bring some." Hai Lancha nodded secretly, and said: "We are no better than Fourth Master Fu, Tara Shit forgot to bring toilet paper, and the Ministry of War has to rush to the latrine to send it. The Ministry of War sees us wearing three-foot hats and slashing a knife in the middle, so that's the virtue! Don't look at the general's majesty now, I still remember to follow Fu Liuye That year and month."
"That's it," Zhaohui said with a thoughtful smile as he let go of the horse, "I don't care about eating and drinking. I have to worry about everything now. You can take a breath of relief if you take down Changji. I What? Still waiting for the army by the Ama River! Huo Jizhan is all cavalry, and now the grass is fertile and the horses are strong, and they can move four hundred miles a day. My soldiers can only travel a hundred miles. The desert is like a meadow, the action is exposed, and the enemy concentrates quickly. So it seems that there are many people, and I am at a disadvantage. If one accidentally cuts and encircles, people will eat dumplings! The emperor rewarded me with so many items, and I also If there is a secret decree attached, then it is impolite: You and Hailancha are not red-robed two-gun generals? Now that Hailancha has taken Changji, how long will you wait and see? You thought I was 'waiting'."
Hai Lancha reined in his horse, his face could not be seen clearly in the dark, but his tone was very heavy, which was very different from his usual speech: "You are the main attacking army, and you must not be cut off by others. If you want to move, the army Move in unison. Go westward along the Ama River, and live in camps in the north and south of the Heishuihe River. If the army on the South Road is stable, I can take care of it calmly. If you smash it, you can’t even keep Urumqi, and Changji will be over.” He decided Concentrated and said again, "The emperor is anxious, you are anxious and I am also anxious. Things still have to be done properly, and victory is not rushed." Zhao Hui listened silently, and said for a long time: "Fourth Lord Fu has arrived at Dajianlu. Ah Gui's letter It is said that the British have withdrawn from Bhutan. The fourth master Fu is still capable, and I think he is better than the old man in fighting the war. And treat us kindly, please be careful with your words, don't make the young master lose face. He is of a different origin from us Naturally, they are arrogant and arrogant. The people in the Ministry of War support Heshen and fight for military pay at the same time, and use soldiers at the same time. There are their difficulties." Hai Lancha seemed to be chewing something, and smiled for a long time: "But in front of you It's just a hindrance, I have no holidays with Fourth Master Fu, Fu's family is our big umbrella, should I never handle it? That Magerni, I think it's clearly a spy from the UK, here he goes to fight Jinchuan, there he is Just retreat, isn’t it just a whistleblower surnamed Ma? It’s just that He Shen can’t get along with him, and it’s almost a show of etiquette, and the emperor also believes in his messy tricks.”
"Military affairs are not enough for you to worry about?" Zhaohui couldn't help laughing when he heard that Hailancha was looking for people to vent his anger, pointing and wanting to say that Heshenli had contacts with foreign countries, and comforted him, "Today these few It’s all wrong with Heshen, just a few idle words, not serious. Maybe the emperor intended to let the British retreat automatically, and specially disclosed it to Magerny! Think about it, how far is it from Dajianlu to Tibet? Daoer? How long will it take to attack Bhutan from the north road of Mount Sumeru, and how much manpower and military pay? It is best for him to retreat on his own. If we really do it, you and I have to prepare to lead troops through the Tanggula Mountains and enter Tibet."
He analyzed it in detail, although it was just a guess, Hai Lancha already felt that it was reasonable, and when he saw him, he wanted to give an example, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! I said I am a carrot, and you just keep pouring shit - it's easy to save , don’t talk nonsense, can’t you still do it?——It’s still the old rule, use the fast horse to communicate once a day. Your precious master, I don’t know what kind of entrustment, the letter is written like a ghostly talisman, I need three masters to identify it I can barely recognize them." Zhaohui said with a smile, "I will bring five masters, one for Jidu and one for you. When marching, I can't keep up with the team. Hu Fugui can read a few words at random, so the military newspaper wrote about him. I have to come up with the excerpt by myself. Although there are typos, the emperor forgives it. I originally wanted to take Master Ji this time, but he is a great scholar, and the emperor will definitely use it again and again in the future. If there is a mistake, I can't take responsibility. "Speaking, Hai Lan saw a row of lanterns coming out of the post station, the leader was Hu Fugui, and said with a smile: "That's not your gatekeeper! Everything that should be said was said at the military affairs meeting, and I will talk about it tonight Tianming, there is still something to talk about. Let’s not pass it too!” Immediately turned to greet Hu Fugui and said, “Hey, old beard! The emperor has a decree, and the left military management belt will be sealed to you. The general lacks the rank of lieutenant general, so go back On Beijing Road, the eight-carried sedan chair of his mother will sit on it! Zhaohui's recommendation booklet and our joint title, how can you thank me?" Zhaohui asked: "I will walk tomorrow morning when it is not clear, have you fed the horse yet?"
"Back to Dajunmen, I went to the stables to supervise the feed myself. There were not many eggs, so I added some soybeans. The horseshoes were reinstalled. I took them out for a walk again, and each horse was given a pair of soft blankets. Put it in the saddle, I have tried everything, please rest assured!" Hu Fugui replied to Zhaohui's words with a solemn face, and then returned to Hailancha with a smile. "How can I thank Hai Haimen? By the end of the year——I will lend you my half-worn and unpatched linen trousers to wear for half a day!"
Hai Lancha laughed loudly, and with a wave of his whip, a group of officers greeted them with a "huh" from the dark field at the gate of the post station.The one who led the horse, the one who helped him teased him down, surrounded him talking and laughing - this is the difference from Zhaohui, his generals were his life-threatening minions in the war, but they were a bit like friends on weekdays, not like Zhaohui. Hui is so solemn and solemn.
The next day, at Yin Zhengshi, Zhaohui and his party of more than a hundred people got up.Everything was in order, washed up and had breakfast, looked at the watch to arrive at the beginning of Mao, the western region was late in the morning, and in the Mengxia season, the sky in the Central Plains was already bright at this time, and it was only a twilight here.他上了自己的菊花骢，侧耳听听，驿站西门也微闻马蹄铜铃之声，便知海兰察也动身了，口中嘟哝一声“这鬼东西”，双腿一夹放缰说道：“开拔！今晚到愁水峪宿。明日午时赶回阿妈河大营。打前站的几时走的？”胡富贵的马就紧跟他侧后，听问忙大声答道：“回军门，子时走的。”
兆惠鞭子轻轻向后一扫，那马一纵便跃出去。一众军将戈什哈忙都紧随上来，整队人马像一团黑云，又像一股急速涌动的暗流，在昏溟苍茫的大草甸上绝尘而去……当晚在愁水峪驿站吃饭歇马，只假寐了一个半时辰便又复起身，接着向南驰骋，天明已到阿妈河流域，计程已是六百里有余，渐次已见运粮的牦牛骆驼队铎铃丁冬逶迤向西，每隔十里都有毡包帐篷兵站，也是他下令设的，专供运粮队伍军士歇脚打尖——愈离大营近，兵营愈多——俱都是蒙古牛皮帐房式样，蒸笼里的馒头似的齐整排列，营与营之间，都成“品”字型布列，一方受攻，立刻便能有两方相援。有的营房在操练行伍，也有的兵士在河边洗涮衣物。见兆惠的令旗在前，随从怒马卷地而过，都遥遥立正了行注目礼。行至辰未午初时分，胡富贵在马上扬鞭遥向西指，说道：“军门，咱们到家了！”兆惠手搭凉棚眺看，果然前边一带高埠上大帐密布，四周中军拱卫六个营盘，众星捧月般将中营簇攒着。大约营中已知兆惠返回，各营列队戒严关防，已听得凯歌之声传来，有唱“睿谟独运武功成，天柱西头奏永清，候月占风传自昔，试听今日凯歌声”的，有唱“恢恢天网本来宽，稔恶诛锄务欲殚。宵旰从容宏庙略，偏师重进取凶残”的，都是朝廷颁赐凯歌，暗呜含糊咬口拗牙的不甚清晰，听左营里自编的军歌，唱的倒是格外起劲：
爹妈生我命不济，八字不齐运数奇！这年头，本来就他妈的不容易，闯一闯总比在家便宜。跟着咱将军沾福气，好比是苍蝇附了骐骥！甘罗早发子牙迟，大丈夫洒血行万里。指望得皇恩比天齐，小子卖命去杀敌，挣他个荫子又封妻……
兆惠脸上掠过一丝微笑，缓缓弛辔徐行，对胡富贵道：“这歌子编得有意思。”胡富贵笑道：“上次跟您去看海军门营，他的兵都唱这种歌。他能编，咱们也能编。上头颁下来的歌不家常，你跟他说一万遍'沐皇恩为社稷'，不如一遍说封妻荫子。”见营中留守大小将官弁雁行序列出来迎迓，便住了口，将军们叩千行礼举臂平胸，已拜倒下去，齐叫：“给大军门请安！”
“大家起来！”兆惠稳稳重重下了乘骑，对众军将一摆手，难得地一笑，说道，“出去将近十天，这边大营仰仗维持，回来一路看，蛮好的。我走前递到北京的保奏折子，万岁爷全部照准。老胡升任左路军统领，仍兼管中军事务。海兰察现在昌吉正加紧修城，他的大营半个月后就移到昌吉。”他挺了挺身子，宽阔的眉字显得更加开朗，脸上泛出容光，看了一眼管带军官，目光一滑而过，接着说道：“这是顶好的消息呀弟兄们！有海兰察守昌吉，霍集占退往天山北的路就堵死了，罗刹国送他一千五百枝火枪、还有火药、被服、粮食就接济不上。反过来，济度在乌鲁木齐控住了博格达山、哈密一条路过来，我军粮道畅通无阻，万一我军遇到困阻，海兰察的兵从莎尔里山口出来增援三五天就能到达。这次会议就是议这些，海兰察济度军门都给我画押立了军令状。皇上赏了我许多东西，现在都封在乌鲁木齐。打下金鸡堡，霍集占全线溃烂，大局一定，功劳大家共享！我要请旨，各营管带都弄件黄马褂穿穿，都弄根孔雀翎子戴戴，高头大马衣锦还乡抖抖威风精神。比我独个儿受封受赏要有意思，要得意！”
他虽庄重严肃，心思口角伶俐并不让海兰察。跟他出征这些人，有的是金川之役就从了他的，有的是新补进来的亲贵子弟，打苏四十三平定宁夏漠南蒙古，横扫千里祁连山，他和海兰察直是部下“战神”一般，听见名字就直腿伸脖子直要行军礼的模样。听他这般鼓动，勾勒那般一幅荣宗耀祖的图画，心里痒痒，脸放红光，目流神移地憧憬，跃跃欲试的躁动不安，却是怯他威严无人放肆。兆惠满意地舐舐嘴唇，点手叫道：“章群出列！”
“到！”一个年轻千总答应一声虎步跨了出来。
“大约你们没人知道，这是我的儿子。”兆惠突兀说道。人群中立刻投来一片惊讶的目光，看看兆惠，再比比儿子，审量他们父子，果真没人知道他们竟是父子。面面相觑间兆惠又道：“打苍耳口夺大寨门，你斩首十七级，其中有霍集占的骁将乌尔滋。打阿沙木，是你带七十勇士冲的血路。你有功，我不赏，因为我是你爹，你应该给我孝敬一点功劳。其实你的功劳都在中军帐簿子上记着，我想昧也昧不掉你。皇上有旨叫晋你游击，我暂且还不能奉诏。儿子，你要记得你是我的儿，待你厚了没法给我的老弟兄交待。你要心里委屈，可以回北京你妈那里！”他说着，眼圈已有点发红。
众人听他这话，心里都是滚烫，章群却不似父亲那般老成，显得有点皮头皮脑的，大声说道：“儿子不委屈！力气是奴才，使了再回来，我有的是力气，使劲儿再卖命，叫皇上知道老爹有种，亲自封我！”
“这才是好样的！”兆惠摆手道，“归队！从今往后你和诸将待遇一样，有功赏功。有过我就辕门斩子！”
"tie!"
兆章群一路后退，规规矩矩退回队里。兆惠便命：“各管带回去收紧队伍，随时待命出发。明日上午卯正时牌，游击以上管带到中军听我将令。”又命，“马军门廖军门请到我帐中去，老胡到书办房，把这几天发过来的邸报、军机处信函、廷谕都送过去。”说罢，大踏步向自己中军大帐走去。左营都统马光祖和右营都统廖化清紧随着也跟上来。
他的中军帐和济度的规模格调差不多，也有一架大沙盘，壁上贴着牛皮纸绘的地图。只他是个精细人，卷案上的军报文书都叠得整整齐齐，插着木签分类摆放在卷案上，像四库书房里的一架书，连沙盘旁没有用完的绿色白色小旗子摞齐，都码在盒子里，不似济度军帐那样零乱。兆惠进来，信手拭了一把木图边上的框子，满意地回到中间椅子上，见廖化清马光祖都还站着，一笑说道：“老马、老廖，坐，坐嘛！刚回自己窝，马上颠得发晕，像是地还在动。”又吩咐，“把万岁爷赐的大红袍给二位军门沏上。”待兵士献了茶，这才将皇上赏赐情形和乌鲁木齐会议说了，中间胡富贵进来，也没有坐，用小刀子一封一封拆阅信函，比较着看，分门别类按发函时间顺序整理好，默默送到兆惠面前，兆惠也不说话，一手端杯啜茶，眼里浏览邸报，一手虚按命胡富贵也坐。他寡言罕语，马光祖和廖化清还在想会议攻打金鸡堡的布置，胡富贵也不是多嘴多舌的人，一时间大帐里竟间无人声。
“皇上龙威一振，去掉我们一块心病。”不知过了多久，廖化清见兆惠放下廷寄文书，开口说道，“于中堂我见过两回，怎么瞧都像讷亲那个熊样儿，阴沉得很。我们在前头打仗，最怕的就是后头有个。这一来就没有后顾之忧了。”他在金川之役中受过重伤，半边脸被鸟铳铁砂打得麻子一般，唇也打裂了，说话有点口不关风，却甚是清晰，他努力说着，一张黧黑的面孔上一大一小两只眼不住眨巴，略略让人看去有点可笑。“大军门，这个仗不好打的，海军门、济军门和我们合军，总兵力只是霍集占的三倍多一点。他动我静，我们还要留守天山大营，机动兵力只是他二倍。我们主攻正营其实人数上略占上风。照稳妥的打法儿，确实只能步步为营。但南疆一块地域太大了，而且敌人有退路，可以从伊犁西逃，在克什米尔西屯扎游牧，打得慢了他能逃。打得快了，我们队伍一扯上千里，龟儿子拦腰切断各个击破。我们几个老家伙就算逃了命，皇上饶我们不饶？”他舐舐嘴唇，“能不能再从西安调三万人，给我们守老营，前头就能放手了。”——
兆惠一动不动听着。但廖化清也就这么几句。马光祖的资格还在兆惠之上，也是老军务，盯着沙盘沉吟道：“福四爷带着三千鸟铳队，打箭炉也有几万人马。比起这主儿，他更是个化钱的手。我们再伸手，要了人接着又得加军费，马伕、辎重、粮车是多少若干？仗还没打又是这一套，别自讨没趣。依着我说，派一支千把人的队伍，一色都是骑兵，我们一边行军向前推进，一边每天派他们出去寻找战机，离大军最远二百里。如果接上火，能粘上打最好，粘不上就退回来。不受敌诱专门疑敌诱敌。中军大营护卫不少于三万人，前锋后卫最远不过五十里。一旦遭遇战机，就地就能铺开阵打，也不至被分割了。如果平安到达黑水河，就在河南把大营结起来，一头令海兰察包抄伊犁以西和碎叶这些地方，济度从乌鲁木齐向南运动策应。我们人力、火器、粮袜是强，敌人运动得快地形熟悉人自为战，格斗是他们的强。我们的短处是行动慢、身上包袱重、兵士单打独斗力弱，敌人的弱处是供应不能如常保障，总的实力也弱。避我之弱乘彼之弱，护好粮道稳扎稳打。打下金鸡堡他成了流寇，惊弓之鸟，游魂似的绕草原沙漠亡命，一年之内这仗就没打头了。”
他到底是老中军出身，打仗多吃亏过来的，且是能通览全局，一字一板说来都扎实落地，兆惠不禁点头：“老马识途，果然说的有理。你说的一千骑兵巡戈，明天会议就往下布置。我最担心的是黑水河南岸地势低，不利于扎营，也要准备着这一条，如果不利，就在北岸扎营。但那样其实是背水扎营，防护上头就要增加兵力了。这一层没和海兰察商量，老马写封信今夜就送出去。”胡富贵在旁插口道：“我们的哨探过不去鬼门峪，那边有三十多里沙漠路，几拨人马出去都让霍集占的骑兵赶回来了。我在乌鲁木齐遇见个回族里头弹弦儿卖唱的，他说黑水河一带缺水，金鸡堡城里也都是沙土，井上一夜不上盖儿第二天就沙土塞满了。所以还得带打井家伙。瓦套子什么的也要拉几套，扎下营来没水吃，那就麻烦大了。”
“我担心背水一战，你倒担心没有水吃！”兆惠笑道。起身用长杆指着木图道：“这里是金鸡堡，这条沟是黑水河，下游和娃娃河并流，有时分有时合，这水都是从额哈布特山和婆罗可奴山上下来的雪山之水，只要不是冰冻天气，河里就不会没水。有水有草马就好办，粮道护好就成，切记粮道要紧，这是我军命脉，傅老公爷带兵，还有前头的老十四王、年羹尧，能打胜仗，头一条就是护自己粮道，专门断敌人粮道。护粮的鸟铳不够，要再加一百枝！”胡富贵喃喃说道：“我也是奇怪，名儿叫'河'还会缺水？可惜那老汉是个瞎子，他说城里有井，河里缺水，这真日怪的了……”
当下四位将军又议论了许久，从粮秣保障到营房灶具安排，每人每日粮多少水若干，沙漠里行军里的水囊，携带行装轻重限制，还有病号伤号医生用药——这是要紧的，兆惠当场写信给湖广总督勒敏要他从速预备，又请军机处派人采购云南白药、三七、马勃、毛茛等药材火速运到大营行地。足足议了一个半时辰，因明日军务会议不宜安排这许多细务，只好这里详明安排，待留廖马二人吃过晚饭，才令他们回营。胡富贵直送他们出去，才返回来见兆惠。问道：“军门没什么事，我到各营去转一匝吧？”
