Chapter 0031 Shandong Famous General
Zhang Xuan could hear clearly. Someone called him "Shixin". Which Shixin? Could it be Luo Shixin? At this time, Chai Shao whispered to Zhang Xuan: "The few officers outside are Zhang Xutuo's generals."
"How did Sichang know?"
"Didn't you see the flying eagle logo on someone's arm? That's Zhang Xutuo's flying eagle army logo."
So that's it! Zhang Xuan thought to himself, 'Those who talk so much are probably Luo Shixin. Isn't Luo Shixin a general of Zhang Xutuo?' He thought of the heroic young man just now.
At this time, a person turned out from behind the screen. It was the person who was the leader of several officers. His face was slightly yellow and there was a black beard under his jaw. He walked to the table with a bowl of wine and said apologetically: "Just now, my brother couldn't speak, and he was rude in his words. I, the eldest brother, didn't teach him well. I would like to apologize to you. I will toast everyone for this bowl of wine."
He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, then pressed it down, so that the wine bowl would not leak.
"Occursed everyone!"
The guards were all generous people. Seeing that this yellow-faced man knew the rules very well and had an extraordinary alcohol tolerance, he couldn't help but admire him. The slightest displeasure just now disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Xuan asked with a smile: "Are you generals under the command of General Zhang, the Flying Eagle Army?"
“That’s right!”
The yellow-faced man smiled and said, "In Xiaqi County Qin Qiong, where are you taller?"
Everyone was moved. It turned out that this person was Qin Qiong, the number one general under Zhang Xutuo. He had heard of his reputation for a long time, but Zhang Xuan felt more than others. This person was Qin Qiong. He blurted out and said, "It turns out that the general is Qin Qiong Qin Shubao, who is 'Li Mengchang, Sai Zhuanzhu'!"
Qin Qiong blushed and said humbly: "I like to make friends all over the world and respect my mother, but how dare I compare with the pre-Qin sages. This brother is so proud of Qin Qiong that he can't afford it!"
Zhang Xuan also laughed. He was talking about the evaluation of Qin Qiong in the Romance of the Romance, but Qin Qiong in front of him seemed to be very protective of his little brother. He said to Qin Qiong: "We are the guards of the King of Yan. I didn't expect to meet the hero of the Flying Eagle Army. I have also heard of General Qin's name for a long time. I toast the general for this glass of wine!"
Zhang Xuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Qin Qiong hurriedly clasped his fists, "It turned out to be a hero from the Yan Prince's Mansion, Qin Qiong was disrespectful."
At this time, the youngest boy jumped over like a monkey and smiled and said, "Do you know that the Flying Eagle Army is a hero?"
Qin Qiong clapped hard on the back of his head and cursed with a smile: "I'm just being kind, you're taking it seriously."
Everyone laughed and Qin Qiong said to everyone: "My little brother is determined to be a hero. When he heard the word "hero", he jumped out. Please take care of him."
Zhang Xuan asked tentatively: "Is this little brother Luo Shixin?"
The boy quickly raised his hand, "It's Luo Xiaoying!"
Everyone was moved. You should know that Luo Shixin's fame is no less than Qin Qiong. There is a saying of "Qin Mace Luo Gun" in Zhang Xutuo's flying eagle army. Liu Badao, the leader of Douzigang, was known as the eleventh strongest in the world. He used a pair of 80-pound bright silver hammers with great strength, but was picked up by Luo Shixin two feet high with one shot. Luo Shixin got his name and was known as the "East Gun General".
The guards of the Prince of Yan's mansion are all martial arts practitioners and admire those with high martial arts skills. It turns out that these two are the famous Qin mace and Luo Guns, and everyone stood up to greet them.
Qin Qiong was just here to apologize for her brother Luo Shixin's Meng Lang. Unexpectedly, the guards of the Yan Prince's Mansion were all very kind, and he was quite moved and introduced to them that his other brothers were all Zhang Xutuo's subordinates, including You Junda, nicknamed the Yasha of the Sea, Tong Dalin, Tong Erlin's brothers, and two flag officials.
Zhang Xuan ordered the bartender to remove the screen, put the tables together, and asked everyone to sit down, and the table suddenly became lively.
Luo Shixin heard that Zhang Xuan had been promoted to the seventh-rank official in just half a month as a guard, which was equivalent to a lieutenant. He was extremely envious in his eyes and said in a depressed manner: "It's better to be in the capital! It's so easy to be promoted, unlike us who work hard to get promoted. It's so difficult to get promoted. I finally made some contributions, but the Ministry of War won't admit it!"
"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan asked with a confused smile.
Qin Qiong sighed, "Half a year ago, we destroyed 30,000 bandits in Douzigang. Shi Xin killed the bandit leader Liu Badao. Zhang Shuai immediately promoted Shi Xin to the lieutenant, but it has been almost three months since he reported to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War just refused to approve it, which is really depressing."
"I guess those masters from the Ministry of War want benefits!"
Han Xin picked up the wine glass and sneered: "They think that if you have destroyed tens of thousands of bandits, you must have seized countless gold, silver and treasures. If you don't let them get a share of the pie, can they not make things difficult for you?"
Luo Shixin immediately said angrily: "Those bandits are poorer than us. They have to collect some of the food and copper coins to give to the local government. As the cost of relocation of prisoners of war, our own army also needs to eat food. There is excess. The people of the court have no idea how hard we are in normal times."
"They don't think so. They believe that you have gained a mountain of gold and silver, and if you don't give me any benefits, you won't want to be granted an official position."
"Forget it, we won't say that."
Zhang Xuan saw that Qin Qiong was upset, so he waved his hand to stop Han Xin's words. He asked Qin Qiong again: "Is there anything wrong with Brother Qin entering Beijing this time?"
Qin Qiong sighed and said, "Last month, we jointly attacked Zhang Jin with the militia organized by the local government. Unexpectedly, the local government was greedy for merit and made a rash progress. Before our army arrived, we launched an attack first and attacked Zhang Jin. The 30,000 militias, including Puyang County, Dong County, Qi County and Jibei County, suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the casualties. As a result, the prefects of these counties bit back and said that it was our unwillingness to cooperate that led to the miserable north. The court wanted to punish Zhang Dashen. There was no way, so we could only accompany the general to Beijing to explain, hoping that the court could observe the situation clearly."
Han Xin couldn't help but sneer again: "I'm still saying that the ill officials in the court only recognize the mountains of gold and silver, and will never be aware of everything. As long as a few prefects take full control of the superiors, you will definitely be responsible for the defeat."
Luo Shixin was furious and put the wine bowl heavily, "If this is the case, I will stop doing it, let them disrupt the bandits!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Qin Qiong glared at him fiercely. Although these guards of King Yan were good, they were not far from being heart-to-hearted. Can such words be said casually? These guards are all local snakes. What if any relatives in their family are officials of the Ministry of War, wouldn’t this cause trouble for themselves?
He scolded Luo Shixin again, "Drink your wine, don't complain all day!"
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from outside the door, and someone said angrily: "I'm going to sit in the hall and let the people inside get out!"
The shopkeeper begged again, "There are already guests inside and the food has not been served yet. How can the villain drive him? Everyone, please go to the Yashi! I will find a way to arrange two for you."
"Don't let your mother goofy farts. I have so many people. Do you want us to drink separately? Tell them to get out!"
With a "bang!", the door of the hall was kicked open.
Han Xin was furious and stood up and asked, "Which friend on the road outside, I have a plant to cool down!"
Chai Shao heard the sound outside, dipped it in wine and wrote a few words on the table: Yuwen Shisan Taibao.
Zhang Xuan was secretly surprised. Could it be that Yuwen Chengdu is also here?
At this time, more than a dozen people rushed in from outside, all of whom were big and round waists, tall and strong. The person in charge was a man with a fat face, dark skin, very strong arms and muscles, and a wide knife in his hand.
Han Xin immediately recognized it and laughed: "I said that there is no such strong master at the foot of the Emperor of Luoyang? It turns out that it is Liu San Taibao, no wonder."
This person is Liu Mengdiao, the third wizard of Yuwen Shisan Taibao. Yuwen Shisan Taibao is the thirteen elite selected by Yuwen Shu from tens of thousands of troops and fakes. Martial arts are the only standard and ranked according to martial arts level, so there are also peerless generals like Yuwen Chengdu.
The other twelve Taibaos also have real talents and knowledge. For example, the second Taibao's flower sword general Wei Wentong, who has outstanding sword skills, even Yu Juluo, who is known as the world's number one sword, praised him endlessly.
Yang Wenqing, the eight-Taibao magic arrow skeleton that Zhang Xuan met in Yangjiazhuang, was of average martial arts, but he was famous for his superb archery skills and shot arrows within a hundred steps. Unfortunately, such a powerful archer died inexplicably at the hands of Zhang Xuan. Yuwen Shu still thinks that he has escaped for fear of crime.
At present, Yuwen Chengdu has left the Thirteenth Taibao and followed the general to protect his side. The Thirteenth Taibao is commanded by the second Taibao Wei Wentong, but today Wei Wentong cannot escape if he has something to do. The Third Taibao Liu Mengdiao brought a group of brothers to accompany the second son Yuwen Zhi and the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant to have a drink.
Liu Mengdiao recognized the group of people in front of him, which turned out to be guards of the Prince Yan Mansion. He was a little embarrassed and slapped the shopkeeper with a backhand. The shopkeeper just told him that there were a group of foreign officers inside, so he dared to be so arrogant. Otherwise, if he was familiar with the family, who would not be able to save any face.
At this time, another person walked in from outside, about thirty years old, with a horse face, a golden crown on his head, a white brocade robe, a jade belt on his waist, and a gorgeous long sword on his back. This person was Yuwen Shu's second son Yuwen Zhiji.
Among Yuwen Shu's three sons, only the third son, Yu Wenshi, was a little promising, married Princess Nanyang as his wife, becoming Yang Guang's only son-in-law.
Lao Dayu is very romantic and famous for being hungry ghosts. He is known to be a famous prostitute in Luoyang and Chang'an. He is not only romantic but also absurd. He once took a large group of people to go out for a walk outside the city. He met his father Yuwen Shu and several colleagues, which became a big laugh in Luoyang.
If the eldest son is just romantic and absurd, and there are not many other evil deeds, then the second son Yu Wen Zhiji is a demon, bullying men and women, occupying land, burning people and houses, and all kinds of evil deeds are numerous. He is notorious in Luoyang and is nicknamed Yu Wen Bawang. He likes this nickname very much. With his father's protection, he has always been at large, making him even more unscrupulous.
"What's going on? Why haven't the seat been settled yet?" Yuwen Zhiji asked unhappily.
Liu Mengdiao quickly reported in a low voice: "Young master, he is from the Yan Prince's Mansion."
If it was another palace, Yuwen Zhiji might have thought about it briefly, but when he heard the three words "Yan Palace", his heart was ignited with anger. His father Yuwen Shu was framed by Yan King Yang Yan, who lost half his life and was also dismissed from his position as a general.
The King of Yan might be a little afraid, but the King of Yan guards was just a bunch of shit, and he immediately had a provocation in his heart.
Yuwen Zhiji said to Liu Mengdiao coldly: "I don't care what you do. I'm going to make a reservation for this hall. Let everyone inside get out. I'll give you a cup of tea, you can do it yourself!"
