- Two hundred and fifty-five Fat Sheep (1)
Guan Shanhe had already found out in advance that the Benlang Brigade was stationed in an unknown town more than ten miles away from the county. For fear that the big fat sheep would run away, even Bai Yubian, who always paid attention to his own image, could not care about the scorching sun above his head this time. The brigade commanders set off immediately, galloping all the way, and arrived at the small town before dusk.
The Running Wolf Brigade set up camp in the wilderness outside the town. Outside the camp, a group of patrols stopped Yi Xiaodao and the others and asked about their identity and purpose of coming.
"I am Yi Xiaodao, the commander of the Hengdao Brigade, and this is Guan Shanhe, the commander of the Guanshan Brigade, and Bai Yubian, the commander of the Yubian Brigade. The three of us are here. We have important matters to discuss with the chief of your department - your Benlang Brigade Who is the commander? We want to see him."
The patrol officer was surprised when he heard that three brigade commanders were visiting together. After checking the badges of Yi Xiaodao and others, his attitude became very respectful: "I didn't know beforehand that all the adults were coming, so I'm being disrespectful. I'm going to go in and inform the commander. I'd like to ask you, sir, to wait here for a moment."
The patrol officer hurried away and soon came back with an officer. The officer came closer, raised his hands in salute, and said loudly: "Excuse me, are you Brigadier Yi, Brigadier Guan, Brigadier Bai, and so on? The last general, Li Ruoyu, is polite."
Yi Xiaodao and others returned the gift one after another and looked at each other. General Li Ruoyu was about thirty years old, with regular features and dark complexion, and looked quite capable in his movements.
"Hello, Li Shuai, we are uninvited guests and we have come recklessly."
Li Ruoyu quickly corrected him: "I dare not call Yi Shuai that. The last general is just Sima of the Wolf Brigade. Since the commander and deputy commander are vacant, he is temporarily in charge of various affairs in the brigade. Yi Shuai can just call me Li Sima."
Yi Xiaodao and others looked at each other with a bit of pride in their eyes: there was no brigade commander in the Benlang Brigade, and the person in charge of the affairs was just a brigade Sima. This is better. This kind of new leader generally lacks experience and confidence. You will be more confident when you threaten him later.
Bai Yubian patted him on the shoulder: "Li Sima is young and promising. As long as he works hard, it will not be difficult for him to be on equal footing with us in the future."
"Commander Bai has given you the award. You are all highly respected seniors in our frontier army, and the last general is a junior. You will never dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with your seniors."
Bai Yubian smiled faintly, but winked at the other two people. Yi Xiaodao and Guan Shanhe looked calm, but they were laughing in their hearts - these military leaders are all old and cunning. Bai Yubian pretended to encourage the other party, but in fact he wanted to test Li Sima's character and temper, and at the same time show off his status as a senior and establish his psychological advantage - seeing that Li Sima had no objection to putting himself at a lower level than others. In terms of his position, several brigade commanders were very satisfied: this guy is indeed a softie, and today's job seems to be easily completed.
After greetings and greetings, Sima Li Ruoyu asked the brigade commanders about the purpose of their visit.
Li Sima is a newcomer, thin-skinned, lack of confidence, polite and easy to talk to - in an instant, Yi Xiaodao has decided on today's strategy. He sighed and said in a low voice: "Li Sima, there is something, I don't know if you know-"
While speaking, Yi Xiaodao stared at Li Sima's face with sharp eyes until he saw that the other party avoided his gaze, and then he continued: "You, Brigadier Huang, were good brothers with us during your lifetime. We have a deep friendship and can be called brothers. Before going south, we made a vow together that we would have a good drink when we enter Luojing in the future. Unexpectedly, Huang Shuai died in Jincheng.
When the bad news came, all of us were very sad. It's just that everyone is in the military and can't go to Xiangzhou to express condolences in person. Now, after hearing that the soldiers and horses led by Huang Shuai were passing by, we decided to come over and offer some incense to the miserable old man Huang and express our sincerity. "
After saying that, Yi Xiaodao wiped his eyes, turned around and looked at the sunset in the west, stood with his hands behind his hands, feeling sad, and didn't look back for a long time, as if he didn't want the other party to see the sad scene that made the man cry sadly.
Hearing what Yi Xiaodao said, Guan Shanhe and Bai Yubian immediately woke up. They also cooperated tacitly, and immediately sighed and lamented - although the three of them had never seen the round face of the yellow wolf fang brigade commander, this did not prevent them from grieving endlessly and mourning the loss of their best friend. The sadness is beyond words.
The visitors were three powerful brigade marshals who were very important in the frontier army. They came specifically to mourn for Huang Shuai, and they showed such grief and sorrow. No matter how ignorant Li Ruoyu was, he would never have said, "I didn't know that Huang Shuai knew him before he was alive." "You guys" came out of my mouth.
He cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "Well - Yi Shuai, Bai Shuai and Guan Shuai are close friends of Huang Shuai. Naturally, General Mo will know this. Huang Shuai often mentioned you to Mo General and other old subordinates during his lifetime, saying that you are His good friend is here. Huang Shuai unfortunately passed away in Xiangzhou, and you all came here to express your condolences. You are really thoughtful, but Huang Shuai¡¯s spiritual place is not in the army"
"It doesn't matter, Li Sima will bring us an incense burner and let us put some incense on it, and let us do our best."
¡°In that case¡ª¡ªOkay, gentlemen, please come with me.¡±
The group of people walked in along the road between the camps and saw that the camp was well arranged. The outer walls, tents, baggage, equipment, water collection, horse control, fire prevention, washing, etc. were all well arranged, and patrols wearing battle armor were all in place. The team shuttled back and forth between the camps. In this short distance of a few hundred steps, they had already seen three groups of patrol teams. The sergeants they saw along the way were all lined up in a solemn and orderly manner, showing a high-spirited spirit as they marched. spirit.
Although setting up camp is just a daily routine in the army, experts can also see the general's planning and experience from the details of the arrangement. Different generals also have different styles of setting up camps. Although the temporary camp in front of you is a hastily set up camp, it still has all the facilities it needs and is fully prepared. It is obvious that the person who set it up is not only familiar with military affairs, but also very organized.
The three brigade commanders were all experts in military knowledge. Seeing this scene, they all secretly praised Li Sima and couldn't help but look down upon Li Sima. When passing by the rear camp, the three of them saw hundreds of baggage trucks arranged in an orderly manner under the open air, occupying an area several miles wide, and the scale was quite large.
Guan Shanhe gave the two of them a proud look: "What, am I right?"
Seeing this huge convoy of baggage, Yi Xiaodao and others were all excited, and everyone looked at each other and smiled. At this time, Li Sima, who was leading the way, turned back, and the three of them hurriedly stopped smiling.
Li Sima led everyone into the Chinese military camp and asked everyone to sit down. He ordered his soldiers to bring the incense stand and brought a spiritual tablet "Huang Gongtao Wolf Fang". The ink on the spiritual tablet was not dry yet - fortunately, Yi Xiaodao and others were not really full of grief, but they were not. Didn't pay attention to these details. Just in front of Huang Langya's spiritual throne, the brigade commanders cried and howled, which was regarded as condolences for Huang Langya.
Seeing Yi Xiaodao and others so sad, Li Sima was also moved and felt sad. Li Sima in turn comforted them and said, "I would like to express my condolences to all of you. Everyone is destined to die. My warrior died on the battlefield. It was a fitting death. I think Huang Shuai has no regrets."
"Alas, God is jealous of talents. Brother Huang left too early!"
After expressing condolences, Li Sima invited the brigade commanders to the Chinese army tent for tea. The soldiers brought fragrant tea, and Li Sima said apologetically: "Sir, during the military journey, the conditions are simple and a cup of coarse tea has wronged you."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We are all in the military, and it is good to have this kind of tea. By the way, Li Sima, where are you going to the Wolf Brigade?"
Yi Xiaodao asked so casually, Li Sima did not doubt their intentions. He replied casually: "We are going to Jizhou."
"Ah, when going to Jizhou, why not go through Xiangzhou, but go through Shangdang County? Isn't this a long detour?"
"The fighting is fierce on the Xiangzhou side. The two armies are intertwined. Our army carries a lot of baggage and dare not go there. The Shangdang County side is an area controlled by our army. Although the road is longer, it is safer."
"Oh, that's it. I see that your department's baggage in the rear camp is quite large. What is it packed with?"
At this time, Li Sima's expression became a little unnatural, and he hesitated and said: "It's nothing, they are just some miscellaneous military supplies We have more people, and we use more things Anyway, it is These are some miscellaneous items, nothing of value - come here, please bring some tea for your lords."
Several brigade commanders looked at each other and already knew what was going on. Judging from Li Sima's guilty look, it seems that most of this batch of baggage is owned by the Benlang Brigade and is not military supplies escorted by the superiors. Otherwise, he would have said it openly - it's really strange. Bandits are like combing through combs and soldiers are like washing. , all the provinces and counties where the border troops passed have been plundered. I wonder where the Benlang Brigade went to plunder so many people's capital and people's anointing? This Qiu Ba gang is not good at fighting, but they are quite capable at robbing ordinary people!
Since this is the case, then don¡¯t blame me for wanting to do justice for heaven - Yi Xiaodao said solemnly: "Li Sima, I have something to ask about here."
"I don't dare, it's okay for Yi Shuai to speak up."
"I wonder if Marshal Huang left any last words before he left?"
Li Sima was stunned: "Well, Huang Shuai was heroic on the battlefield and died on the spot. The situation was chaotic at that time, and he left no last words."
"That's it"
Hearing what Li Sima said, Yi Xiaodao seemed very disappointed. He remained silent and seemed very embarrassed. Seeing him acting like this, Li Sima couldn't help but ask: "Does Yi Shuai have anything to say?"
What I have been waiting for is your words - Yi Xiaodao sighed: "Huang Shuai has gone. This matter is really a bit difficult to say, but we really don't have anything else to say."There's a way, alas! "
"If you have anything to say, Yi Shuai, please speak up."
"It's like this. Six months ago, when we all went south, in order to collect the departure fee for the Wolf Brigade, Huang Shuai was temporarily inconvenient and faced difficulties. At that time, he asked for help from our Hengdao Brigade, Guanshan Brigade and Yubian Brigade. We raised and borrowed military pay totaling more than 456,000 taels of silver."
