Qu Duan, Zhe Yanye and the others had faces as straight as the bottom of a pot, and their nostrils turned upward in praise and anger, but they didn't take it seriously at all. Qu Duan stood up and stopped, and said with a sneer: "The Sa family said that even the military health of ten capitals,
How can it be wrong to say that he is not as good as a hero in the Western Army? We fought with the Xia and Qiang people in the border areas, and lived a life of licking blood from the edge of the knife to become famous in the army. The Imperial Guards in the capital are said to have 800,000 soldiers.
How many of them can be used to great effect? How many of them shed their lives and blood for our Song Dynasty during the war between the two countries?"
Originally, Yang Zhigu thought that Qu Duan was the subordinate of Xiao Zhongxianggong Zhongshi, so she said nothing with a livid face, not intending to make the matter worse. However, the officials and generals on both sides drank emotionally, and after three rounds of drinking, they spoke under the influence of drunkenness.
They all got a little more aggressive. After going back and forth, they heard that Qu Duan's words contained a hint of contempt for the Song Army of other factions. Xuan Zan, who was already upright, could no longer hold back, so he stood up to argue with Qu Duan.
"The Western Region of the Song Dynasty is such an urgent place, and there are many Chinese and English warriors in the Western Army. I also know this." Hua Rong looked angry and sneered at Qu Duan and said: "But there are no officers and soldiers who can only fight.
A chaotic idiot who is appointed as an official under the influence, but has no real ability? You should know that just relying on the descendants of the generals and the reputation of the Western Army and looking down on his colleagues in Paoze, what kind of ability is that?"
Hua Rong was handsome and suave, but he was by no means a good-tempered person. When Qu Duan heard Hua Rong laugh at him that he relied on his father's blessings to become a general in the Western Army, he became even more angry. Zhe Yanye and Qu Duan were on friendly terms with each other.
, was also the son of the fierce general Zhe Keshi of the Western Army. Hearing Hua Rong's sarcasm, he seemed to have scolded the descendants of their Zhe family. He immediately slapped the case and stood up and said: "Hey! How dare you insult us!? Do we have any?
You'll know what you're good at if you try it! If you don't dare to come, you're a coward!"
The two sides were getting more and more tense, and when they were about to turn over the table and start fighting, Xiao Tang shouted angrily: "Stop! Since they are all athletes in the Song Dynasty army, why should colleagues be so angry and arguing?"
Qu Duan, Zhe Yanye and others were subordinates of the cultivator, so Xiao Tang couldn't blame him too much. Unexpectedly, the cultivator took a sip of the wine in his cup and whispered to Xiao Tang: "My nephew, if you want to lead a powerful army,
A master with outstanding martial arts skills should also know how to control the three armies, so as to teach his generals to obey orders. As the saying goes, a good horse is difficult to tame, and a powerful horse that has traveled thousands of miles is mostly violent in temperament and difficult to tame. If a good nephew wants to lead these powerful horses, he must also
How should we deal with it?”
After Master Zhong said this, he stood up and said slowly: "Thanks to my kind nephew for your kind invitation, I am already too drunk, so I should go back and rest early."
Immediately, Zhong Shizhong turned to Qu Duan, the Zhe brothers and others and said, "You guests in the capital must not lose your courtesy. Okay, I will leave first." After saying this, Zhong Shizhong winked at Han Cunbao and said,
He left Xiao Tang, Qu Duan and others behind, left the private room first, and followed Han Cunbao back to his house.
Xiao Tang was slightly startled, and then realized that Zhong Shizhong was letting go so that he could deal with the conflicts between the generals of the Western Army and Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong and others.
In fact, since Wang Anshi's reform, Su Dai generals in the northwest military towns of the Song Dynasty have more independent command rights, and the quality of the army has gradually improved with the war with Xixia and other countries and the deepening of the reform, and the Western Army
Many generals have a very loose style in controlling their subordinates. As long as you do not violate military orders, as long as you have the ability to seize the flag and kill generals on the battlefield, when there are conflicts between subordinates and colleagues, the superior officers will not bother to interfere.
Seeing that the masters left first, Qu Duan, Zhe Yanye and others did not pay attention to Xiao Tang. They were at the age of brilliance, and they also had a bit of domineering spirit among the disciples of the generals of the Western Army who were tough and good at fighting.
, let alone Yang Zhi and others, they didn't notice it. Even Xiao Tang was not enough to make them admire you. You once conquered the bandits on the Jingxi Road in Hebei and made some military exploits. So what? What about the Jianghu?
Are the strong men who hang out in the green forest as brave as the elite soldiers of Xixia and Qiang tribes?
What's more, when they saw that the Jinfeng Jade Tower under Xiao Tang's name was built with carved beams and painted beams, and the gold and green were shining, Qu Duan and others only thought that Xiao Tang was able to rise in the army by managing top and bottom and catering to the powerful people in the court, so they paid more attention to Xiao Tang.
It's a bit more contemptuous. If a general like Qu Duan even dares to scold him bloody, you, a capital officer who has never fought a bloody battle with a foreign country, are you considered a bird?
Seeing that Qu Duan and others showed no humility in their expressions, Xiao Tang lightly touched the table and said, "Yes, our Western Army of the Song Dynasty is a rare elite force. But both the Imperial Guards and the Western Army are dedicated to serving the country.
Good man! I have 800 military states in the Song Dynasty, and it is not just the Western Army who are guarding the country! Although the Qu family and the Zhe family have been generals for generations, I hope they will not take advantage of this to be proud!"
At this time, Zhe Yanzhi stood up, cut his hair, and said peacefully: "Master Xiao is teaching us a lesson because it was our brother who made the offensive offense..."
"Brother Zhejia, shut up!" Qu Duan interrupted Zheyan with a deep voice. He was even more dissatisfied when he heard the reprimand in Xiao Tang's words, so he said: "Master Xiao, it's not the Sajia who wants to fight with you.
His subordinates have made enemies! But Xijun Erlang always speaks out with confidence. If there is anyone who can convince the Sa family, Master Xiao’s sworn brother Lu Tiha can be considered one of them, because he was also a veteran at that time.
The generals under Xianggong Lue are also the most luxurious and good sons in our Western Army! I have had a nice dinner in honor of you, but if you show off your official power to the Sa family, you are thinking wrong!"
Qu Duan treated Xiao Tang, who was several ranks above him in military rank, as a "sajia", and was not even polite to Shangguan. However, Xiao Tang was not bothered either. He knew how to use virtue to establish prestige or use military rank to suppress others.
Qu Duan, Ori Yanye and others didn't work at all.
How should we deal with such a bad tempered person with a rough and bold personality? The only way to convince him is with his true ability. He stood up and said: "Mortals can't change their minds. Since you underestimate the heroes of my command, I will treat you as such."
Once you have said that, you will know if you have the ability to try it out, and you can compete with your fellow soldiers to learn martial arts."
After Qu Duan heard this, he realized that this was exactly what he wanted. He jumped up and said, "Come as you please. What are you afraid of? Let your subordinates show their abilities!"
Hua Rong was already angry, but when he saw Qu Duan openly contradicting Xiao Tang, he said angrily: "Since you are so tired, I will try your skills!"
Qu Duan was proficient in bow and horse and also had good martial arts. He was also annoyed by Hua Rong's irritating words just now. He looked at him sideways and said, "I just heard your nickname is Xiao Li Guang. He is the Hedong Shenjian General He. I am from the west."
Wang Shijin, who has thousands of soldiers who dare not go forward, is not as boastful as you! But you don’t know what your bow and arrow skills are. Can you win against a real hero?"
When Hua Rong was about to continue speaking, Yang Zhi suddenly stopped in front of Hua Rong. Yang Zhi looked indifferent at this time, just looked at Qu Duan and said in a serious voice: "Although I am not talented, I am still willing to compete with General Qu.
The level of martial arts."
Qu Duan looked Yang Zhi up and down and said, "The Yang family's marksmanship is well-deserved, and the Sa family knows it. I just don't know how much skill you can have left?"
Yang Zhi took a deep breath, then his eyes suddenly opened, and he said loudly: "Yang is incompetent and has insulted his ancestors, but even if he only inherits a third of his skills from his ancestors, he won't lose to you!"
