The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 83 Jia Sidao's Hongmen Banquet?

The cavalry and archery army gave me a completely different feeling from the previous Xiaoxiong army and Xiongwu army.

If Xiaoxiong and the Xiongwu army showed me a state of grandeur, then the cavalry and archery army looked listless.Most of the soldiers of the cavalry and archery army are over 30 years old, and many soldiers are even over 20 years old. Unlike Xiaoxiong, the soldiers of the Xiongwu and Wu armies are all young adults in their [-]s.Judging from the formation, the cavalry and archery army also appears to be disorganized, with disorganized formations and no rules to follow.

Is this the elite of my bow army?I feel like a bunch of stragglers and insensitive.

Seeing my frown, Jia Sidao shouted loudly: "Soldiers in cavalry and archery, keep your bows in hand."

The cavalry and archery soldiers who received the order took out the curved bow from the pouch on the horse's back, and held the bow in the left hand.

Jia Sidao raised his hand and continued, "The arrow is on the string."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a feathered arrow already on the string.

The speed is fast and neat, like props suddenly appearing in the hands of a magician. My eyes are still the same, but I seem to hear the sound of thousands of arrows firing in my heart.I suddenly felt that the cavalry and archery army suddenly changed, and a murderous aura appeared faintly accompanied by feathered arrows. This feeling made my heart tremble even more than seeing the soldiers of Xiaoxiong's army shouting in unison before. , that kind of shouting would be fine as long as I was prepared in advance, but this invisible voice terrified me in the bones.I suddenly understood the views of people like Li Tingzhi and Lu Xiufu who have experienced wars. Only such an army is the real iron army. Compared with Xiaoxiong and Xiongwu, they can be regarded as a modern guard of honor at most. , but not murderous.

If Jia Sidao said again, "Let it go", then hundreds of feathered arrows will be fired at once, and my life will be over, or it is just that some of the shooters did not control their strength well, and I can't dodge the unintentional "fire".Of course, all these assumptions are based on the fact that Jia Sidao wants to murder me.However, facing hundreds of feathered arrows in person is indeed frightening. Even the master Yuan Ji who is close to him is a little nervous, with cold sweat breaking out slightly on his forehead.

Fortunately, Jia Sidao's third sentence is not "letting go", but "receiving".

The cavalry and archers returned to their original shape in an instant, and the fear in my heart disappeared. Only then did I realize that I was also in a cold sweat.

With a smile on his brow, Jia Sidao gave me a demonstrative look: "Your Majesty, please enter the tent. I will introduce the main generals of the Imperial Army to Your Majesty."

Seeing that I was still in a daze, Yuan Ji touched me lightly and said, "Your Majesty, let's go into the room."

Only then did I regain my senses and walked towards the big tent in the camp.Of course I understand that this is Jia Sidao's blow to me. Jia Sidao wants me to understand that as long as he says "let go" with his hand down, my life will be over.

Since the vision from the sky, Jia Sidao can also feel the strength that I gradually revealed. Once the imperial power is strong, the power of the prime minister will be in crisis. Of course, Jia Sidao will not be reconciled. Standing at the pinnacle of power, who is willing to take the initiative? What about going down?

From ancient times to the present, in all dynasties, those who have been able to stand on the pinnacle of power have all stepped on other people's shoulders, or even drank their blood. unwilling to give up.

Threatening me with the forbidden army?It seems that Jia Sidao is also a little impatient, and Jia Sidao seems to have forgotten one thing. In the whole world, is it the land of the king? The forbidden army is also composed of people from the Song Dynasty.

Unless, Jia Sidao wants to rebel.

The big tent is actually a big house, but it is customary in the army to call the house of the chief general the big tent.I sit on the main seat in the middle, with Jia Sidao, Xia Gui, Fan Wenhu and other generals of the Imperial Army on my left hand, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, Wen Zhang and other court officials on my right hand, and Yuan Ji and Xiao Qi standing behind me , Lan Yu, Shen Mo and other twenty imperial guards stood outside the big tent to guard.

"Your Majesty, the army is no different from the palace, and the meals are simple. Don't blame Your Majesty." Jia Sidao spoke first.

"Haha, do as the Romans do."

Jia Sidao picked up his wine glass: "Your Majesty, please."

"Okay, everyone, let's raise our glasses together."

Jia Sidao introduced the generals in his account one by one. Xia Jiangang, the commander of the horse army, Long Zaitian, the commander of the infantry army, Wu Songhan, the deputy commander of the bow army, and a dozen others, when talking about the last general , I just paid attention, I seem to have seen this person's name somewhere, and from him, I seem to feel the murderous look of riding an archer just now.

"Wang Sheng, who once served as the commander of Kuilu, is now the commander of the imperial infantry."

"The minister Wang Sheng sees my emperor, long live long live long live long live."

"Pingshen, Wang Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite, I know you are a brave general."

It turned out that he had just been promoted from the front-line generals, and he was really different from other generals. I remembered that in the memorial to the Ministry of War approved a few days ago, there was such a No. achievement.

Wang Sheng was overjoyed, he didn't expect that I knew about him, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

After drinking for three rounds, these generals in the Forbidden Army gradually started talking more. Except for Wang Sheng and Wu Songhan, everyone began to brag about their military exploits.

"Although my horse army is small in number, it is much stronger than your infantry army."

"Xia Jiangang, you've been drinking too much, have you ever fought a battle with our infantry?"

The topic gradually turned to the battle between the horse army and the infantry. The generals in the army are no more than courtiers and Chinese officials. .

After Jia Sidao offered me a glass of wine, he said: "Your Majesty, they are all rough people, so don't pay attention to them. The old minister is too strong to drink. Rong Chen goes to change first."

With Jia Sidao's departure, the debate became more and more intense, and the horse army infantry generals headed by Xia Jiangang and Long Zaitian began to change from arguing to quarreling.

Xia Jiangang insisted that he was Xia Gui's nephew, poured down a glass of wine, and stood up: "Long, do you dare to make gestures with me?"

Long Zaitian also stood up and said angrily: "Xia, what kind of onion are you, dare to compete with me?"

Seeing the chaos, Fan Wenhu and Xia Gui hurriedly stood up and said, "Xia Jiangang, Long Zaitian, what are you messing around with, the emperor is here, don't hurry up."

Xia Jiangang snorted and said, "If the emperor hadn't been here, the Japanese commander would have given you a good lesson today, saving your infantry from being self-righteous."

Long Zaitian, who was about to go back to his seat, stopped immediately when he heard this, and turned around and said, "You kid is not finished, the emperor is here today, I will make a gesture with you, and I have the right to be the emperor." Added to the fun."

Xia Jiangang sneered, knelt down to me and said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to compete with him, and drink for the Emperor."

Why, is this Jia Sidao's Hongmen Banquet?

As long as I'm not facing thousands of troops and with Yuan Ji around, I naturally won't worry.Jia Sidao regarded me as Liu Bang, and he wanted to be Xiang Yu, which seemed unqualified.

I smiled: "Since that's the case, then you guys have a competition, click as far as you can, and don't hurt anyone."

Xia Jiangang and Long Zaitian glanced at each other, as if they didn't expect that I would agree so readily, but the two of them had already spoken, so they had to open up their postures, fight each other with fists and kicks.

Since I, the emperor, was present, all the generals of the imperial army who entered the house did not carry weapons, so the two of them just fought with bare hands.

I can't tell whether the two of them really drank too much, or did it on purpose?However, this is not important anymore.I picked up the wine glass and watched the two fight with great interest. Occasionally, I looked at the generals present. Only Wu Songhan and Wang Sheng sitting beside were drinking in silence, as if everything here had nothing to do with them .

"You two bastards, you make trouble when you drink, not to mention His Majesty is still here." Jia Sidao yelled loudly as soon as he came back.

As soon as Xia Jiangang and Long Zaitian saw Jia Sidao, they hurriedly stopped, like a mouse seeing a cat, and returned to their seats without making a sound.

Jia Sidao seemed to be still angry: "Fist and feet have no eyes, if you accidentally startle the emperor, how many heads do you have, get out of the tent if you don't tell the truth."

Xia and Long lowered their heads and left the big tent backwards.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is negligent in discipline, forgive me."

"What is the crime of the teacher and the minister? Soldiers, naturally they should have the blood of a soldier. If they all move their mouths and pens like the courtiers and Chinese officials, how can they win the battle when they come to the battlefield?"

Jia Sidao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

I smiled lightly: "Okay, the food and drink are enough, let's drive back to the palace."
