At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 50

On January 12, [-].

It was very cold and the wind was blowing everywhere.

Cheng De was half asleep and half awake, shivered by the cold air, and suddenly woke up.

Get up and go outside the account, the wind blows, no sleepiness at all.

"General!" Lan Yu bowed and saluted, holding the long knife hanging by her waist.

Looking at Lan Yu's face flushed from the cold, "It's cold today, so I'd like to add more clothes. I have a fox fur coat in my tent, you can wear it to get rid of the cold."

When Lan Yu heard this, her eyes were a little moved, but she still refused: "The subordinates are strong and strong, and the cold wind is only mediocre."

Hearing this, Cheng De frowned slightly, "You can wear it as long as you are told, otherwise if you catch a cold, how can I explain to your brother-in-law?"

Lan Yu was stunned, and after thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Thank you General, that Lan Yu is not welcome."

After saying that, Lan Yu rushed into the tent, quickly wrapped the snow-white fox fur coat hanging on her body.

Immediately, he hurried out of the account again.

At this moment, Sapphire finally felt her body warm up.

After rubbing her hands several times, Sapphire stood upright outside the tent again.

Cheng De's gaze was a little erratic, and he was lost in the direction of Huai'an City in the distance.

How to win Huai'an City?

There has been no news from Jueshengwei.

In this way, the understanding of the situation in Huai'an City is basically blind.

I had no choice but to wait patiently.

Putting aside these thoughts, Cheng De glanced at Lan Yu, "Come on, follow me over there for a while."

After saying these words, Cheng De walked ahead on his own.

Sapphire followed closely behind.

Along the way, soldiers of the Sizhou Army kept saluting to Cheng De.

And Cheng De smiled.

After walking about three hundred zhang, Cheng De came to the shore of Hongze Lake.

Although there was a strong wind, there were almost no waves on the surface of Hongze Lake.

The water flow in the lake is extremely slow.

Time flows silently forward.

Lan Yu stood behind Cheng De, looking around boredly.

He didn't know what the general was thinking, he just saw the general staring at Hongze Lake.

The expression on the general's face was full of sadness, and his back looked very lonely.

He guessed that maybe the general remembered the sad things from the past.

At this moment, Cheng De did recall some sad things.

He Sanwu's whereabouts were unknown, which made him feel that some things in the world were impermanent.

He didn't know if there would be any accidents like He Sanwu's in the future.

But he understands that since he stepped on the road of anti-yuan, he has no choice.

You can only keep going until you walk out of a bright road.

at this time.

A large boat appeared not far from the surface of Hongze Lake.

There was a man at the helm on the boat, and a man in a green shirt standing against the wind.

The green shirt that the man in the blue shirt was wearing was shaking with the wind.

At this time, there was a burst of singing: "The other millet is lili, the seedling of the other millet. The walking is sloppy, and the center is swaying. Those who know me say that I am worried; those who don't know me say what I want. The sky, Who is this?"

Listening to this chanting, Cheng De withdrew his thoughts and looked at the man in the blue shirt.

Sapphire leaned forward at this time, her eyes full of vigilance.

"General, this person suddenly appeared, and his behavior is a bit suspicious." Sapphire looked at the boat on the lake and said.

Cheng De hesitated.

Because he could see from a distance that the man in the blue shirt didn't look like a scholar.

At this moment, the man in the blue shirt seemed to have noticed Cheng De and Lan Yu on the shore, and his eyes were fixed.

The boat was still moving, and the direction of the movement was the shore where Cheng De was staying.

However, when the boat was still two feet away from the shore, it suddenly stopped.

The figure of the man in the green shirt is more clearly seen: long and thick, with sculpted eyebrows and wide mouth, high nose and wide mouth.

This was the first impression the man in the green shirt left on Cheng De.

The man in the green shirt stayed on Cheng De for a while, and then looked at Lan Yu behind Cheng De, his eyes flickering.

After looking at it for a while, the man in the blue shirt was about to speak.

unexpectedly.

Lan Yu was the first to speak, "Who are you? Are you a secret agent sent by the Yuan army?"

The man in the green shirt was startled when he heard this.

Immediately after reacting, he quickly said: "I misunderstood. I am a businessman, not the secret work of the Yuan army."

Sapphire did not believe this person.

Instead, he continued to ask: "Where did you come from, and where do you intend to go?"

The man in the green shirt looked at Lan Yu's unfriendly expression, and said with a light smile, "I'm from Suqian, and I want to go to Gaoyou."

Lan Yu was silent and looked at Cheng De.

Cheng De secretly observed the man in the green shirt, and thought: This man's appearance is almost the same as Pan An's.

However, not as handsome as me.

Seeing Lan Yu looking at him, Cheng De calmly looked at the man in the green shirt, "Name?"

The man in the green shirt frowned, but he was secretly surprised when he saw Cheng De's calm expression.

I never thought that I met a hero here.

Look at this person, although he is young, but this overwhelming sense of oppression seems to be natural.

In an instant, the man in the blue shirt judged that this person must have been in a high position for a long time.

Because this kind of power cannot be faked.

Moreover, it was originally called the Yuan Dynasty, which indicated that it did not deal with the Yuan Dynasty.

There is only one possibility, and that is the Anti-Yuan righteous man.

So, the man in the blue shirt said, "I'm Bian Yuanheng."

Cheng De narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man in the blue shirt, who remained calm and calm.

However, no one thought of it.

The person at the helm who had been neglected all this time said excitedly, "My lord, are you from the Sizhou Army?"

All eyes turned to the man at the helm.

"Have you heard of the Sizhou Army?" Cheng De looked at the man at the helm.

The person at the helm is wearing a gray shirt covered with patches, his face is full of wrinkles, and the gap between the wrinkles can hold a hair without falling out.

The man at the helm smiled, showing his yellow teeth, "The young one is a native of Qinghe, who makes a living by fishing, and sometimes does some work of carrying people. Now Qinghe can get rid of the bullying of Yuan people, thanks to Si The state army defeated Qinghe's Yuan army. Now, we Qinghe people can live a bit of a human life, and we lived like animals in the past."

Bian Yuanheng was startled, and looked at Cheng De with a suspicious expression.

Cheng De looked at the man at the helm and nodded, "Our Sizhou Army will not bully the people, on the contrary, our Sizhou Army will protect the people."

The man at the helm said with a smile: "The Sizhou army is an army of benevolence and righteousness!"

Cheng De didn't answer, but looked at the man at the helm, "Old man, did you find anything special when you were fishing these two days?"

The person at the helm froze for a moment, and then said: "Returning to the adults, the young one has mainly carried people for the past two days, and has not fished."

After hearing this, Cheng De was disappointed for a while.

At this moment, Bian Yuanheng said: "General, did something valuable drop into Hongze Lake? If so, I can help the general."

Cheng De looked at Bian Yuanheng, but did not answer what he said, but said calmly: "I think you are not as simple as a businessman!"

Lan Yu looked at Bian Yuanheng vigilantly, holding the long knife in his waist tightly with his right hand.

But Bian Yuanheng said with a wry smile: "General, I am indeed a businessman. What's the difference? I just read a few books, learned some characters, and then practiced some boxing skills that can't be put on the stage. That's all. That's all."

Cheng De didn't believe it, but he didn't want to get entangled in this matter, "If you want to go ashore, why don't you go to Hongze City instead of here?"

Bian Yuanheng replied: "Because this road is a shortcut."

Cheng De was silent.

This is where his army is stationed. For a stranger, he doesn't want his military situation to be known to him.

But I don't want to kill an innocent person by mistake.

Therefore, Cheng De said calmly, "This place is an important military base of our Sizhou Army, and outsiders are never allowed to pass through. If you want to go back to Gaoyou, I suggest that you dock at Hongze City."

Bian Yuanheng was silent, frowning.

For a while, the atmosphere in the field was a little stagnant.

At this time, the person at the helm looked at Bian Yuanheng and persuaded him: "Guest, why don't you obey this lord's advice and pass by Hongze City? I will drive the guest there, and there will be no charge for this trip."

Bian Yuanheng did not respond immediately, but looked at Cheng De: "Dare to ask the general's name?"

Lan Yu answered at this time: "What's the matter? Do you still want revenge?"

Bian Yuanheng smiled wryly and said: "I have absolutely no such intentions, but I am deeply impressed by the general's extraordinary bearing and daring to rebel against Yuan, that's all."

Cheng De kept staring at Bian Yuanheng's expression, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so he said in a deep voice, "Cheng De."

As soon as Cheng De's words fell, Bian Yuanheng was startled, and hurriedly saluted Cheng De: "I have seen General Zhenglu!"

The man at the helm was dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.

However, in the end, he reacted quickly, and hurriedly saluted in Cheng De's direction: "I have seen the general!"

"Have you heard of me?" Cheng De looked at the two suspiciously.

"The general doesn't know something. This Jiangbei province may have heard of the general's name." Bian Yuanheng replied.

Cheng De was not happy at all.

Still kept calm.

This scene fell into Bian Yuanheng's eyes, which made him feel a little admired.

At the same time, he secretly said: He didn't appear happy, which is very unusual. It seems that Cheng De's plan is not small.

"It's just a false name, not worth mentioning." Cheng De said lightly.

Bian Yuanheng didn't dare to take it too seriously, "I have always admired such great heroes as the general."

Cheng De was noncommittal, "What are those cloth bags on your boat?"

Bian Yuanheng hesitated for a moment, but he still replied: "These cloth bags are full of salt eaten by the poor people in Gaoyou. I won't hide it from the general. I'm selling salt. Because the Gaoyou Yuan army has too much control over salt. Strict, but the price is so high that the common people can’t afford it. Based on this, I couldn’t bear it, so I invited myself to go to Suqian to get the salt for the people of Gaoyou.”

Cheng De looked at Bian Yuanheng, staring into his eyes, "You didn't lie?"

Bian Yuanheng swore to the sky on the spot: "If what I, Bian Yuanheng said just now is a lie, then let God make me suffer a terrible death, and kill me on the spot!"

Seeing Bian Yuanheng's awe-inspiring look, Cheng De felt a little relieved.

It seems that the people of Gaoyou are not doing well.

If there is an opportunity in the future, the flag of the Sizhou Army must be planted on the city of Gaoyou.

"I can let you cross this road, but you must be blindfolded to cross this road. Moreover, I can also send soldiers from my Sizhou Army to escort you. Lan Yu, I will leave this matter to you later, remember Choose more than a dozen good soldiers from the army." Cheng De said, looking at Bian Yuanheng.

Sapphire replied: "Yes."

Bian Yuanheng also nodded in agreement, and his heart relaxed a lot.

Secretly said: Sizhou Army is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness!
Cheng De glanced at Bian Yuanheng, and was about to turn around and leave.

"General, please stay still! Boatman, hurry up and dock." Bian Yuanheng shouted.

Cheng De stopped, turned and looked at Bian Yuanheng, "What else do you want?"

The boatman brought the boat to the shore, and Bian Yuanheng jumped onto the shore, then bowed in the direction of Cheng De and said: "The general's kindness to the people of Gaoyou, I, Bian, will never forget it."

Cheng De's expression was calm, and he glanced at Bian Yuanheng, "If you are talking about these things, then there is no need."

Bian Yuanheng hesitated for a moment, then his eyes brightened a little, and he bowed to Cheng De again, "The general is determined to drive out the barbarians and restore China, and I, Bian, am deeply impressed. However, I am going to recommend a great talent to the general." , can help the general succeed!"

Cheng De's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Why help me? What are you asking for?"

Bian Yuanheng explained: "The general did not allow Bian to go this way before, but the general let go when he heard that Bian said that the salt was urgently needed by the poor people in Gaoyou. In Bian's view, the general had the people in his heart , is a man of benevolence and righteousness, and definitely not a villain. In Bian's view, the great cause of anti-Yuan has a long way to go. Among the heroes and heroes everywhere, as far as Bian knows, only the general treats the people with sincerity and benevolence, and only the general leads the way. Sizhou Army and Minqiu did nothing wrong, so Bian is willing to help the general."

After hearing this, Cheng De pondered for a while, "Who is the master you recommend?"

When Bian Yuanheng heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he quickly replied: "General, the person I recommend is my best friend, and his name is Shi Naian."

Shi Naian?

Cheng De was startled, and looked at Bian Yuanheng with some doubts, "You said your friend's name is Shi Naian?"

Bian Yuanheng nodded and said: "My friend is indeed Shi Naian."

Cheng De was silent.

If he remembered correctly, this Shi Naian was the author of "Water Margin" and a writer.

However, he is also a great talent.

But Cheng De thought, could it be that Shi Naian has other abilities?

Otherwise, why did Bian Yuanheng praise him so much?

Therefore, Cheng De narrowed his eyes and looked at Bian Yuanheng, "Why recommend him?"

Bian Yuanheng did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "If you want to plan big things, you need a mastermind. My friend Shi Naian, who lived in Baijuchang, Xinghua, is quite familiar with soldiers, and he is a genius in this world. If my friend can help you , why worry about the big thing failing?"

Cheng De was shocked.

This Shi Naian actually knows soldiers?
This is what he did not expect.

"Having said that, is he willing to help me? Besides, this place is far from Xinghua, Gaoyou Road." Cheng De sighed.

Bian Yuanheng was in a hurry.

"If you are willing to get the general's handwriting, Bian is willing to persuade my friend Shi Naian to vote for the general." Bian Yuanheng promised, patted his chest.

Cheng De nodded: "Since that's the case, it would be great. However, in order to show my sincerity, I will send a team of one hundred people there, not only to invite Mr. Shi, but also to escort him to vote for me. At the same time, I can escort you and the salt on board, killing three birds with one stone, what do you want?"

Bian Yuanheng was very happy to hear that, his eyes glowed with gratitude, "The general is very considerate in his consideration. Kindness!"

Cheng De glanced at Lan Yu and said, "Lan Yu, you ask Wei Jiuyi, head of a hundred households, to bring 100 people under his command to meet me here, hurry up."

Lan Yu glanced at Bian Yuanheng, then replied loudly: "Yes."

Immediately, Sapphire left in a hurry.

Then, Cheng De looked at Bian Yuanheng, "Do you have a pen and paper?"

Bian Yuanheng smiled and nodded, "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Bian Yuanheng turned around and returned to the boat to take out the paper and pen, and was about to hand them to Cheng Deshi.

But Cheng De stopped him, and Bian Yuanheng showed a puzzled expression.

Cheng De smiled and said, "I said, you write it."

Bian Yuanheng nodded, held the pen and paper, and looked at Cheng De.

Cheng De walked back and forth in the same place for a few steps, pondered for a while, and then said: "My name is Cheng De, and I am the general of Sizhou Army. A military division of the state army, assisting a certain person to rule the world and restore the order of the world. A certain, a commoner, has the ambition to set the world: to drive out the barbarians and restore China. The sun and the moon shine on them, and they are all Han people."

"Don't you want to show off at that time, sir? Don't you waste your time by writing to entertain yourself? A man should hold a three-foot sword and make a name for himself in the world. And the wisdom of the gentleman is the ear of the three-foot sword held in the hand of the gentleman. Looking down on the ancient and modern times, it is easier to produce heroes in troubled times, and it is also easy to produce great talents who will make the world, and those who make the world can be named in the history. Based on the present, the great talents of the ages are gone. Counting the romantic figures, let's look at the present!"

"Sir, do you dare to be the first in the world, and be the most romantic person of today?"

After Cheng De finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Bian Yuanheng who was still writing, "Have you written it all down?"

As soon as the words finished, Bian Yuanheng let out a sigh of relief, "I wrote it all down."

Immediately, Cheng De took it from Bian Yuanheng, signed his name, and sent it back to Bian Yuanheng.

"When you see Mr. Shi, say hello to him for me, and tell him that I will wait for him in Sizhou City." Cheng De urged.

Bian Yuanheng nodded, "Yes, Bian must bring the general's words."

Just then, Wei Jiuyi appeared with 100 people.

Sapphire was at the forefront.

Seeing this, Cheng De explained to Wei Jiuyi on the spot, then looked at Wei Jiuyi and said, "You must remember what you just said. Remember, on the way back, you must protect Mr. Shi. If he has a family If so, take them together."

Wei Jiuyi hurriedly bowed and replied, "Yes, this subordinate will definitely live up to the general's trust."

Cheng De looked in Bian Yuanheng's direction, and said to Wei Jiuyi: "In that case, then, you can go to Gaoyou with Mr. Bian later!"

"Yes." Wei Jiuyi replied.

Afterwards, after bidding farewell to Bian Yuanheng, Cheng De returned to the big tent with Sapphire.

In the big tent, Cheng De looked at the stack of paperwork piled up on his desk, and couldn't help rubbing his brows.

a long time.

He sat at his desk and flipped through the documents.

Time is passing quietly.

Until it was about to get dark.

Lan Yu walked in, bowed to Cheng De and said, "General, the Juesheng Guard from Huai'an City has arrived."

Cheng De put down the paperwork in his hand, straightened his face, and finally came.

"Let him in!" Cheng De said calmly.

"Yes." Sapphire replied.
