Chapter 853 The first meeting of the old breed, the atmosphere is very harmonious
Not a moment later, the Jingyuan, Xihe, Qinfeng, Yanyan and other Western Army troops under the command of Mr. Lao Zhongjinglue lined up in the open space of the two camps, standing neatly, with countless sharp blades polished.
The long spears covered the sky under the sunlight. There were more military servicemen and civilians standing respectfully with their hands inside and outside the camp, but the military appearance was also extremely majestic.
All the infantry troops in the army stood tall and tall, and all the cavalry soldiers reined up their horses and stood in front of the formation. They all looked solemn. While everyone was waiting quietly for a cup of tea, they finally saw more than a dozen Song soldiers.
The military generals came from nowhere, surrounded by more than a thousand powerful cavalry.
Under the red Luo Ya flag held by a tall and powerful military athlete, Xiao Tang galloped into the company camp first. Behind him were Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui, Hua Rong, and Wu Jie.
, Liu Qi, Wang Jin and other close subordinates were also dressed in military uniforms and followed closely. The eyes of the Song Army officers and soldiers in the camp naturally focused on Xiao Tang immediately.
This person is a popular person among the officials. He seems to have a very good reputation in the roads of Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Not long ago, Ren Xia Xiao Tang, who defeated the Xia army and became famous in the border court?
Together with the civilians and generals, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Song Army stationed here. Therefore, the area is very vast. When riding into the camp gate, Xiao Jiasui, Hua Rong, Wu Jie and others
They also deliberately slowed down their horses and let Xiao Tang ride at the front of the riding formation. As Xiao Tang rode forward, he could already feel the tens of thousands of eyes around him being cast on him. Some of them were in admiration.
Some people question it, some people are wary...but no one will have the slightest contempt for the rising general in the Song Dynasty army in front of them!
And Xiao Tang saw that the surrounding military formations were like a forest, and tens of thousands of strong athletes were all staring at him. At this moment, Xiao Tang also spontaneously felt a proud sense of accomplishment.
The great monarch controls Liuhe, and the fierce general Qing Jiugai. The war horses are like dragons and tigers, and the mausoleum is so majestic. He has worked hard to achieve great things in the army. To this day, he puts himself in the shoes of thousands of troops and feels such a heroic and ambitious atmosphere. Xiao Tang also
I really feel that the hard work I have put in in the past will not be in vain.
But at this moment, no one knew which tribe's general suddenly gave the order. The troops of the First Army not far away from Xiao Tang suddenly shouted in unison: "The Song Dynasty is magnificent! The Song Dynasty is magnificent!"
Soon the troops around them all shouted in unison. All the soldiers of the Song Army in the middle camp raised their weapons and shouted at the top of their lungs: "What a great Song Dynasty! What a great Song Dynasty!"
The scene of tens of thousands of soldiers roaring in unison was thrilling, just like the roaring power of the raging sea in a storm. Many of the horses under the cavalry sergeant who came with Xiao Tang were actually injured due to sudden injuries.
Frightened and neighing, the soldiers of the horse army quickly reined in the reins to calm the horse. At least there was no trouble caused by the frightened horse. However, the red patch under Xiao Tang's crotch, the Thousand Miles Neighing Horse, had experienced many bloodsheds with its owner.
Being tempered by the fire, even if he suddenly heard the overwhelming roar, he still trotted on his hooves and remained unmoved. The red-colored horse of fire just shook his head vigorously, and then made a heavy snort, which seemed to be caused by the noisy shouts around him.
Feeling disturbed by the sound.
Xiao Tang, who was sighing in his heart, frowned. He thought that although these soldiers of the Western Army seemed to be welcoming me into the camp and shouting in unison to strengthen their military power, looking at their appearance, they seemed to want to attack immediately.
It's like charging into battle and risking one's life against the enemy. Why does it sound a bit like a demonstration to me?
In the company camp, on the other side of the commander's tent, two elders, about fifty or sixty years old, also walked out surrounded by more than a dozen Western military officers and generals. The elder who led them suddenly heard the sound of shouting in the company camp. He frowned slightly at the loud shouts, and immediately looked at the general with a sharp-edged Chinese character face and a strong and slender body next to him, and said: "Yang Qianha, this is your turn. Was it done by one of his subordinates?"
The general who was called Yang Qianha bowed slightly and said respectfully to the elder: "Old Mr. Zhong, although this Xiaotang is valued by Mr. Xiaozhong, he is very favored by the officials and has a smooth career. , and now he is making great achievements again and again. As the saying goes, he is young and frivolous. How could he know that Xiao Tang would not be complacent and domineering based on his achievements?
What's more, as the deputy envoy and supervisor of the army, he is scrambling to control the troops and horses and compete for fame and glory, just like Tong Guan did back then. If he really wants to consult the military affairs of the Western Army, wouldn't he reject tigers through the front door and let in wolves through the back door? Wei Jiang ordered his subordinates By doing this, we won't collide with him first, but we will let him know that the Western Army still respects the old gentleman and must not have any inappropriate thoughts."
"It's unnecessary..."
Zhong Shidao, the great-grandson of this great Confucian scholar, succeeded Zhong Shiheng, Zhong E, Zhong Di, Zhong Pu and other famous generals in Zhong sect, and was also the leader of the Western Army. Hearing what Yang Qianha said, he shook his head slowly. , and said: "If Xiao Tang is bent on preserving the country and benefiting the people in order to serve the country, why should we be wary of him? If Xiao Tang really has the same thoughts as Tong Xuanshuai, do you think you can summon the sons to make noise? , can you scare him?"
Yang Qianha was startled when he heard this. While he was still thinking about the meaning of Zhongshi Dao's words, Zhongshi Dao, accompanied by more than a dozen generals, went to greet Xiao Tang. Xiao Zhongjing Lue Xianggong Zhongshi followed him Behind Zhong Shidao, when passing by Yang Qianjia, he said: "Those who hold the mantle are related to the sky, and those who are determined to be Qing are related to the people. The sons of the Western Army have always been soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and they are definitely not from my Zhong family. Private army. I understand that Yang Qian is thinking about us two brothers. However, as long as the commander in charge of the Western Army can be loyal and upright, protect the country and the people, and not be so happy that he goes to war and uses weapons rashly, then he also It doesn’t have to be the same caste, otherwise what’s the difference between me and Tong Xuanshuai...?”
Zhongshi Dao walked forward, and the generals followed him like stars holding the moon. When Zhongshi Dao looked ahead, he suddenly looked over with his old but sharp eyes, and saw even Among the ceremonial guards in the camp, there was a tooth flag fluttering in the wind, and beneath the tooth flag there was a flaming red horse that looked like charcoal, slowly approaching. The Song Army general who was sitting upright seemed to have also looked at him. The seed master came up, and a group of the seed masters were waiting. The man immediately jumped off the horse, and walked slowly holding the reins of the bridle. Seeing this, the horsemen behind the general also tightened their reins. They jumped off their horses one after another.
When Xiao Tang walked about twenty or thirty steps in front of Zhongshi Dao, he put down the reins, hurriedly stepped forward and paid homage, saying: "Xiao Tang, a late student of the late school, has seen Mr. Zhong Jing Lue and Xian Gong Xiao Zhong Jing Lue. .”
Although Master Zhong was already in his twilight years, his body was still strong and strong. He quickly stepped forward, supported Xiao Tang, and said, "Shuai Xiao, please don't be so polite. We are all the same." A minister of the state, you are an official and a military envoy, and hold important positions such as signing Privy Council appointments. How can I accept your worship because of the etiquette and rules?"
Xiao Tang smiled slightly and said: "Old Mr. Zhong made the decision to govern the Western Frontier in Bianting. His prestige was written in Song and Xia. In terms of civility and martial arts, the Zhong family has generals and generals for generations. The late students also admire them very much. Today I can see Mr. Lao Zhong, the manager. It is my honor, Xiao Tang, to serve the country with Xie. Therefore, Xiao Tang pays homage to a model in the military and a general of the country. How can Mr. Zhong not tolerate this?"
Xiao Tang immediately paid homage to Master Zhong again: "When I was in Bianjing, I received the teachings of Xianggong Xiaozhong, and I have benefited a lot from it. Today, God has given me the opportunity to pay homage to Xianggong Xiaozhong again, which is a great comfort to my life. Please also accept the teachings of Xianggong Xiaozhong." A bow."
Xiao Tang told Master Zhong that the respectful actions of the two masters were neither submissive nor pretentious, but because he believed that the two people in front of him would go to the country one after another in the late Northern Song Dynasty and die heroically according to their original trajectory. The heroes of the country sincerely admire them. What's more, these brothers can inherit the responsibilities of the ancestors of the Zhong family, guard the border court and perform extraordinary feats, and can also win the respect of many fierce generals in the army that is the most proficient in the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that they also have With extremely superb military skills, whether as a person or as a leader, Lao and Xiaozhong, the general manager, are both elders worthy of Xiao Tang's emulation and respect.
And as Xiao Tang spoke to Master Zhong one after another, and two of them bowed respectfully, the tense atmosphere that seemed to be tense just now seemed to immediately relax at this moment.
