Long Song Wanli Dingshan River

The Chu State Brigade was divided into left, middle and right armies.

The central army is in charge of the close guard work of the King of Chu, and is under the orders of General Qiao Kuangzheng of the Central Guard Army; the left army is in charge of the guards and inspectors of Jiangling City; the right army guards the palace ban and guards the palace city.

These three are collectively called the Three Armies of Jiangling.

On weekdays, the right army guards the palace, and the central guard guards the king of Chu. Only the left army, when there is no case, is an idler who eats food from the public house. For example, now, the south gate of Jiangling Palace City, even After a few days of silence, everyone in the left army garrison was exhausted and yawned.

Just at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door several times, startling all the soldiers at the garrison office to sit up.

"The right army? Those who defend the city? What are you doing here?" One of the soldiers muttered sleepily, turned over and continued to lie down and doze.

Luo Mingwei opened his eyes instantly.

He is a lieutenant of the Zuo Military Academy of Jiangling City, and he is on duty today. He was sleeping with his sleeves on to pass the time, when suddenly several loud noises made his sleepiness disappear.

In the middle of the night, unexpectedly? Someone? Dare to shoot the gate of Miyagi wildly.

He lifted the knife, and went out, the vermilion door opened a crack, and he could vaguely hear the commotion outside the door.

The door opened with a creak, and Luo Mingwei walked out from the shadow of the door. The left and right guards overlapped their spears, and they were blocking a young man who was about to break into the palace gate. That? Captain! Help, help!"

Luo Mingwei rested his hand on the handle of the knife and raised his fingertips lightly: "Let him go."

He squinted his eyes, carefully distinguishing the face of the young man in front of him: "Lord Sikong's? Attendant, how many times have we met?"

Lord Sikong? But the recent "big celebrity" in Chu State. How many times has this kid followed you back to Miyagi? Luo Mingwei recognized him as familiar.

"Yes! I'm Lord Sikong's attendant, called Youqing!" Seeing that he recognized him, Youqing beamed with joy, "Lieutenant Luo recognizes me, so it's easy to say, seven miles outside Jiangling City The Director’s embankment is about to be demolished! There are still many civilians under the embankment, my husband wants me to go ahead and borrow troops to evacuate the civilians!”

Luo Mingwei squeezed the handle of the knife.Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he is not only unfamiliar with this gentleman, but even feels a little disgusted because he is too aggressive in Chu Ting.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any documents?"

Youqing was so anxious that he was overwhelmed: "It's urgent, my family? Mr. came to report overnight, how can there be any documents!"

The guard on the side kindly explained: "Little official? You don't know. Although we are under the jurisdiction of Colonel Luo, we must look at the tiger charm or the documents when we are transferred. Bi Rong A lieutenant is not qualified, so it must be General Wei who is in charge of the left, middle and right armies."

He was afraid that Youqing would not recognize him, so he kindly reminded him: "General Wei, Cheng Zheng."

"I know who he is!" Xiaoqing said angrily, "the rules are the rules, but you should follow the rules urgently. There must be flexibility! What I said is true, if it delays saving the people? Who are you?" Can you afford it!"

"This..." The guard was speechless, and only muttered in a low voice, "We can't afford to deploy troops without authorization."

"you!"

Luo Mingwei tapped the tip of the knife with his fingertips: "If what you said is true, then it is a big deal. But what Xiao Li said is true, even I need documents to transfer troops. If there are no documents, they can only issue verbal orders. Don’t listen, I’m not the only one? It’s the rule, it’s the rules left by the previous kings.”

Youqing's anxious face was twisted in one place: "Who are you guys?! The people are still under the city? My family? The general is still at the gate of the embankment. Not to mention the heart of the country, do you have any conscience! "

You Qing wanted to scold him, but Luo Mingwei cut him off right away: "Me too? I'm not a rigid and pedantic person? Just wait a moment, wait for me to hurry up and report to General Wei layer by layer. He decided—originally, the navy on the river was also under the control of this general, and if it really happened that the dike broke, there was no reason not to inform him.”

Just at this time, the big bell of the city gate tower rang, and the dull and distant sound of the bell made the entire palace city tremble.

"The bell is ringing!" You Qing looked in the direction of the bell tower of Jiangling City.

At that time, Zhu Zheng had an intuition that the grounding of the Pangzhou boat was very strange, and he calculated that the embankment was likely to break. It was a series of tricks, and there were no extra troops in the vicinity except Jiangling City. If he wanted to move reinforcements, he would have to go to Jiangling City. When Qing enters and exits the city gate, he must go through the main entrance of the martial law. Therefore, the main entrance seems to be safe, but an ambush will definitely be set up.

Therefore, the master ordered him to split up with Jing Yun's soldiers. Jing Yun was a suspicious soldier, dressed as a gentleman, and lured out of the city gate to ambush the soldiers.But he packed lightly into the city, went straight to the station, and transferred the relatively idle left army.

At this moment, the clock rang, and You Qing hurriedly looked at Luo Mingwei: "The warning bell has already rung, so and so, you should believe it!"

In addition to telling the time in the morning and evening, this bell only rings for national mourning and city-wide alarms, and the bell is transmitted ten miles away. It is mostly used for vigilance and flood prevention during the flood season.

The Shen Zhongduan will not ring for no reason.At this time, Luo Mingwei was [-]% convinced, and he turned to the guards: "You order troops first, and go with Youqing to the long embankment first."

"Captain Luo, but..."

Luo Mingwei: "I'll take care of what happened."

Then? The guards looked at Luo Mingwei hesitantly for a long while, and then they folded their hands and retreated. Not long after, footsteps creaked in front of the gate of the palace city.

The soldiers of the left army at the garrison had all assembled. Luo Mingwei roughly counted the number of people, and said softly: "The armor is gone, go into battle lightly, and march quickly."

"Here!"

The sound of bronze and iron armor colliding came and went, and the guards immediately began to unarmor. At this moment, a question came from the long passage of the palace gate: "Who is there? It's making noise outside."

Everyone? Suddenly? A silence.

General Wei Cheng Zheng held a small hand stove wrapped in brocade satin, and sat on a sedan chair carried by six people. He turned around and walked to the place where the soldiers lined up. He took a look around first, and then said in a drawn out voice: "Bold!"

"Luo Mingwei, in the middle of the night? Unauthorized deployment of troops——Do you want to rebel?"

Luo Mingwei pushed aside the guards who were lined up, and bowed his hands: "General Wei, someone came to report that the dike was broken seven miles outside the city, and there are still residents under the dike? They haven't been evacuated yet. People's lives are at stake. Order the soldiers first, and report to General Cheng after you are planning."

Sitting on the sedan chair, Cheng Zheng's original expression changed when he heard the news, and then he quickly covered up the strangeness, replaced it with an impatient face, and sneered, "That's...that is, if I hadn't left the palace today The city was late, and we just happened to bump into each other. Captain Luo’s soldiers had already been dispatched today. It seems that I was the one who broke Captain Luo and made great achievements? Good thing?”

"Mingwei, if people are like you, 'people's lives are at stake' and 'emergencies are in the hands of power', and you randomly transfer Miyagi's soldiers here to fight fires and there to fight disasters? Who is going to protect Jiangling? Who is going to guard the palace city? Come to the king’s side, isn’t it messed up?”

Luo Mingwei immediately stroked his robe and knelt down, putting up his saber with both hands: "I didn't think carefully about this matter, but I ask General Cheng to punish me. It's just that the breach of the embankment is critical, and I hope the general will dispatch it after verification."

Cheng Zheng lightly lifted the lid of the hand stove, raised his hand and threw the hand stove to the palace man beside him: "This stove is so annoying, everyone says don't take these odd-edged and octagonal things? Put it in front of me." , and give me this."

The palace man was shocked by the throw, hurriedly caught it, and knelt down holding the stove.

"General Wei!" Youqing hurried up, "I came here to report the breach of the long embankment? It is absolutely true. The embankment is in danger. I hope the general will be lenient."

"Yo." Cheng Zheng looked him up and down, and squeezed out a yin and yang smile, "Who am I, in the middle of the night? With such great powers, how can I know things several miles outside the city? Lord Sikong? A petty official?! It seems that Sir Sikong is really wise. People are not here. This Jiangling city is gone, so how can you plan a strategy thousands of miles away?"

Youqing suppressed the anger in his heart and tried his best to maintain etiquette: "General Cheng, I know that you and my husband have misunderstood a lot, but at this time the lives of the people are hanging by a thread, and I hope the general will send troops for the sake of righteousness. Reinforcement, spare Captain Luo."

Cheng Zheng clicked his lips, and his face suddenly collapsed: "What do you mean, I don't listen to your family? Mr., and become unkind?"

Youqing wanted to reply, but Luo Mingwei knelt on his side, constantly shoving his calf.Unexpectedly, this action was caught by Cheng Zheng, who sarcastically said: "Lieutenant Luo really listened to Lord Sikong's words, and sent a small official to help you dispatch troops. Why are you still preventing him from speaking?" , are you still afraid that I will bully him?"

Luo Mingwei bowed his head and said, "This subordinate dare not."

"Oh." Cheng Zheng crossed his legs leisurely, and said with a tone of voice: "The long embankment is closed, and most of my government soldiers are on duty at the embankment, guarding the embankment, and they never dare to slack off for a day. Is the embankment good? I, as Chu General Guowei knows it, so why do you need others? Make a point?"

He lowered his eyelids and looked at Luo Mingwei: "Luo Mingwei, I have done my job well, but what about you? The guards in Jiangling City, the only thing that is tight is guarding Jiangling. Stupid dogs leave the guards? "If you don't do your job, you must go get the mouse, Captain Luo, tell me, is this appropriate?"

The guards of the left army who lined up just now, immediately knelt down.

"And you, Lord Sikong? I didn't teach you the rules, so I'll teach you." Cheng Zheng held the armrest of the sedan chair, lowered his head and stared at Youqing, "Anyone who dispatches troops and must be in power? Soldier talisman. Those who don't have a soldier talisman , You must show the oracle of the oracle. You have nothing, and you have transferred away from the palace guards without authorization, but I can? Kill you——on the spot?!"

"My lord? Think twice!" Luo Mingwei persuaded, "I have never asked for this matter. You Qing has good intentions, although? His temper is a bit impatient, but he is dedicated to serving the people. What's more, he is Lord Sikong? His attendant , must not be punished arbitrarily."

Cheng Zheng raised his eyelids and glanced at Luo Mingwei in disgust: "Lieutenant Luo, do you really know how to behave?"

He sat up straight and said with a straight voice: "Since? You think so? To be his brother? Brother Luo Mingwei, the infantry captain of the Left Army, who dispatched troops without seeing official documents, will be rewarded with thirty sticks."

Luo Mingwei paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and cupped his hands: "I...receive the reward."

Cheng Zheng said again: "Master Sikong? House servant? Youqing, disturbing the palace in the middle of the night, meddling in the defense of the palace city, spreading panic messages, trying to dispatch troops without official documents, rewarding the palace staff... eighty."

Youqing tilted his head and didn't say a word.

"Why, you're still not convinced?" Cheng Zheng sneered, "What I said above is all about one thing, but is there a lie?"

When he saw everyone, he didn't move, and suddenly he slapped the handrail: "Pull it down!"

"Yes!"

The guards on the side were about to drive You Qing up. At this moment, a very oppressive voice came from the depths of the long road: "I see who dares!"

The sound was not loud, but calm and powerful, and immediately controlled the messy situation.

Six teams of fine-armored bodyguards came in order, and happened to stop behind Cheng Zheng's sedan chair. Cheng Zheng turned the sedan chair, recognized the group of guards at a glance, slapped the table and said, "It's against you!"

All of them wore exquisite polished armor and fiery red cloaks. There was only one army in the Chu Kingdom who could dress like this.

That? It was the central guard army who directly guarded the king of Chu. Like the left and right armies, the central guard army also obeyed Cheng Zheng's orders.

Cheng Zheng said angrily: "Who allowed you to leave the post?? Get Qiao Kuangzheng out for me!"

Qiao Kuangzheng is the general in charge of the Central Guard Army, the general of the Guard Army, and an official under Cheng Zheng.

The fine-armored guards stood coldly, and suddenly stood up from the first row, divided into two teams and hung apart, making way for a path.

The moonlight shone on the path in the middle, making the stone slabs shine.

Youqing's eyes lit up: "Sir!"

Seeing someone backing him up, he stopped kneeling and stood up with a jump.

Zhu Zheng just appeared at the end of the road out of the way of the Central Guard Army.With a cold face, he just stood awe-inspiring, and the palace road suddenly became colder by several degrees.

Cheng Zheng immediately grabbed the armrest, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.He managed to maintain his momentum: "Lord Sikong? It's a coincidence that you came here. Let me ask you, did you dispatch this central guard? You dispatched my palace guard without permission. Do you have documents?"

Holding a sheet of snow-white paper between his fingertips, Zhu Zheng strode towards the moonlight. He stopped in front of Cheng Zheng, his slender white shirt completely blocking the moonlight.

He said coldly: "The document."

With a wave of his wide sleeve, the paper slapped Cheng Zheng's face.
