Chapter 5 Return (Part 6) The drinking lasted until midnight. Zhang Jin came to protect the children. Chen Leng and others were all drunk. Yu Wenji and Yu Wenshiji had no choice but to serve their father and bring the old general to the rescue.
They were sent back to their respective camps one by one. Although Xuzi had a heavy drinking capacity, he was surrounded by people for such a long time and his steps were sloppy. Yu Wenshi was not worried about his safety, so he called all the generals of the Xiongwu Camp who came with him.
, ordered everyone to protect General Li and return to camp.
Tonight, everyone in the Xiongwu Camp felt elated when their general showed up. They leaned on their horses and talked about the feat of breaking into enemy lines three times this afternoon. They praised their general's bravery and chatted drunkenly for a while.
Someone discovered that Yuwen Shiji was not with everyone, and his mouth immediately became harsh, "Old Yuwen, if you want to take away the credit of our adults again, I'm afraid you must not do it!"
"Hee! Didn't you see that Mr. Yu Wenshu's face was so red that he was almost bleeding! I don't know, I thought he drank all the wine today!" Lieutenant Li Anyuan was there.
Rocking back and forth on the horse, he continued to explain intermittently that he was from a humble background and had been depressed in the officialdom. He had experienced the ostracism that Zhi Xuzi had recently suffered before, so he felt the grievances in the Lord General's heart and sympathized with him. It was inevitable that he would be rewarded.
I mean to fight injustice, so I feel very happy to see Yuwenshu being embarrassed today.
"Our general saved him three times, but he couldn't remember being reminded this time. He should be shy!" Murong Luo laughed and responded that both he and Li Anyuan were promoted by Xu Zi, so he naturally felt that
Yu Wenshu, who belongs to Xu Zi's direct lineage, is ostracizing Xu Zi, which is equivalent to ostracizing them in disguise, so he can't wait to see the old thief make a fool of himself.
"We, the military supervisors, are also heroes, but we have such a father!" Lieutenant Li Mengchang, who had never been a troublemaker, was not satisfied with Yu Wenshu's actions and interrupted in a low voice.
Hearing this, everyone in the Xiongwu camp sighed that everyone got along very well with Yu Wenshihe. Apart from his sharp mouth, this person had no other bad habits. He was also good at what he did and his foresight in looking at problems was always impressive.
I admire him, but his family's methods are too domineering, and everyone hates him, so they can't help but be separated from him.
"Old Yuwenshu is not a kind-hearted master. He was offended a lot today. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for General Li in the future!" Speaking of the Yuwen family's methods of doing things, Captain Cui Qian lowered his voice and reminded him worriedly.
"Why, he can erase the credit that hundreds of thousands of eyes have seen!" Li Anyuan retorted with wide eyes.
"Since he made our general the chief today, he will naturally not want to take credit for our general's achievements. However, the old generals who came to protect the children have made such a fuss, and instead put our general on the opposite side of him. The Yuwen family
He is the most powerful family in the army. Alas, does the right guard general Zhang Jin have a high position? As long as Yu Wenshu glares, he can't even speak..." Cui Qian shook his head gently and sighed.
In the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty, when was it possible to be promoted based on merit alone? Not to mention a rising star like Li Xu who was young, had little qualifications and foundation, and even an old general who had been in the officialdom for many years would not dare to offend him.
Yu Wenshu: At today's banquet, everyone seemed to have a bad temper, but the trouble actually caused was endless. I don't know when it will end.
His sigh made everyone sober up. Everyone thought about their experiences over the years, and indeed felt that today's situation was a bit embarrassing. Although Dayu Wenshu could not do anything about military achievements, he was the commander of the army, and in other aspects
There are many places where you can do evil tricks. If you use any tricks, Asahi may be able to deal with them for a while.
If everyone doesn't resist, watching him take all the credit for everyone's bloody battle on his own son is really unacceptable. Moreover, if Asahi doesn't show something today, he doesn't know how he will be bullied in the future.
!Then again, this kind of person has no other abilities, and his tricks of harming others are unparalleled in the world. If you offend him, you have to guard against him.
Everyone discussed and discussed, and the more they talked, the more angry they became, but they couldn't think of any effective countermeasures.
"Looking at what you said, it's like the sky is falling. Could it be that if you offend the Yuwen family, all of them will never get ahead!" Zhang Xiu, the captain of the school, was dissatisfied and asked angrily.
"There is a way!" Captain Cui Qian took over Zhang Xiu's words and solemnly replied, "It depends on whether General Li is willing to do it!"
These few of them are considered the core of the Xiongwu camp, and they don't shy away from each other. When Cui Qian said there was a way to protect Xu Zi from Yu Wenshu's revenge, the others immediately gathered around and urged: "
Come on, come on, tell me, what time has it been and you are still exciting!"
"I think the old thief Yuwen is taking credit for his son, but he is not deliberately targeting our general." Cui Qian organized his thoughts and slowly explained to everyone.
"That's right, these rich and powerful people don't regard others as human beings at all!" Li Mengchang straightened up from his horse and concluded angrily.
"It can't be said completely. A big surname has its own difficulties!" Cui Qian's face turned red for no reason, and he argued in a low voice, "To maintain a family for hundreds of years, you need to be careful not to make enemies easily, but also to be kind to others easily.
If you recommend someone else, that person must be a direct descendant of your family. No one dares to break the rule of giving ten or even a hundred times to the family in the future. This is not to deliberately suppress talents, but because they are afraid that if the rule is broken, those who have already been recommended will be affected.
I feel that my future is too easy, and I am unwilling to work hard for my benefactor’s family.”
"According to what you said, what good intentions did Yu Wenshu have today?!" Li Anyuan became irritated and pointed his riding crop at Cui Qian and asked
"I'm afraid so, but no matter whether he wanted to show favor or win over, he was disturbed by the old general who came to protect his children!" Cui Qian raised his head and answered in a lukewarm voice.
"Since you've offended people so much, what do you think you can do?!" Listening to Cui Qian's calm answer, Li Anyuan didn't feel angry and asked in frustration.
"In addition to the military dignitaries in our Sui Dynasty, there are also seven major surnames in the court who look after each other. Their strength may not be worse than that of the Yuwen family. Back then, General Huben Luo Yi was able to get ahead because of the support of General Wang De..."
"Brother Tui, didn't he persuade me to join other wealthy families and get beaten on the back and pinched by others? Is there any difference between that and joining the Yuwen family directly?" Li Xu, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly turned around and tilted his head to ask.
He spoke in a low voice, but his eyes were very clear and he glanced over gently, making Cui Qian blush again for a while. Everyone fell into silence and could only hear the sound of horse hooves outside, which was so anxious that it was disturbing.
, so messy that it’s uncomfortable
"I said before, it's not that there is nothing we can do, it's just that General Li is unwilling to do it." After a long while, Cui Qian shook his head and murmured in reply.
"I appreciate Brother Zui's kindness, but that will make me unhappy in this life!" Li Xu raised his head, looked at the waning moon that had just risen in the sky, and sighed. When Lai Huer and others toasted to him, he said
I feel some of these emotions, but I can't let go of the bad breath. After all, I feel so suffocated in my heart that I feel uncomfortable.
Now that the evil spirit has come out, I should really think about the way to seek good luck and avoid evil. The Yuwen family has tried to win over me countless times, but with no results every time. I must be extremely angry in my heart.
Xuzi thought about the method Cui Qian said, but he really couldn't do it.
If this is the only way out, he would rather never be promoted
Thinking of the outcome of never being promoted, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of Xuzi's eyes: "That is to say, I will only be a general for the rest of my life. My ambition back then was just to be a county captain, but now I am a general. Why do I feel less and less satisfied?"
?”
He thought like this, and under the influence of strong alcohol, the thought of giving up became stronger and stronger in his heart. Thinking of giving up, Xuzi suddenly found that all the worries at the moment were easily solved. "Is it just that I won't be promoted? At worst, I will be dismissed from my job and go home to hunt and farm."
, it’s better than relying on others. Anyway, I have some savings now, so I won’t go hungry again easily!” He turned to look at everyone, and found that everyone was looking at him. Some people tried to advise, while others had concerns and regrets in their drunken eyes.
"I'm so afraid, you're a great man. You can't get the official position you got by pretending to be a grandson, but you might as well not take it!" Asahi felt an impulse in his heart and blurted out the angry words.
"Yes, in the worst case, let's all quit. Let's see if old Yuwen is in trouble next time, who will risk his life to save him!" The drunkards were stunned at first, and then responded in a chaotic manner.
A drunken person, who was already full of energy and blood, would naturally become more and more impulsive as soon as he said something cheerful. For a while, everyone felt so arrogant and talked about drunkenness for a while. Some people even beat their golden stirrups with whips and sang.
A military slang song came up
"A real man, establish merit and fame, and merit and fame will comfort his life." The horsewhip fell on the golden stirrup, the rhythm was neat and generous
"There is a ravine in my heart. I can do whatever I want between heaven and earth!" Murong Luo stretched out his neck, as if he wanted to spray all the grievances he had suffered for many years into the night sky with the smell of alcohol.
"Knife in hand, wine in glass, pick up the wine and go forward with the knife." Li Anyuan rode his horse and caught up with Murong Luo, patting him on the shoulder and singing a harmony
"Don't laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield. A hundred years later, you will also be dead!" Cui Qian shook his head, shook off his troubled thoughts, and cracked his whip to keep up with the rhythm of the crowd.
"Wealth and honor, take it immediately, and use the eight-foot-long branch as a pen..." Humming a vulgar slang song in his mouth, Xuzi laughed softly, and his eyes became brighter and brighter in the darkness.
