Chapter 267: One person scare off five thousand elite Khitan soldiers
Chapter 267 One person scare off five thousand elite soldiers of the Khitan
Uncle Qiu raised his head and smiled sincerely at Jiang Erye, but the sincerity in his eyes could not cover the ferocity brought by the hideous scars on his face.
Jiang Erye has always liked beautiful ones, so he doesn't like Uncle Qiu's style, and looking at Uncle Qiu's face, Jiang Erye feels that the noodles just brought from the kitchen are not delicious, "Say, who are you? "
Jiang Bao, who was instructed to guard the gate, sighed. It had been three years since they had been to Jiang's house, and the second master only remembered to ask their true identities. Why are they so hearty? Fortunately, they are not bad people, otherwise the Jiang family would have been eaten by them to the bone.
Uncle Qiu said honestly, "Second Master, this old servant didn't lie to you. When General Ren had an accident, this old servant was indeed a clerk in the border town barracks."
"If you were just a small official, could you run from the border town to Zangyun Temple and still recognize Master Chengkong? What did you do before Ren Muyuan's accident?"
Jiang Erye accepted the five of them back then, mainly because of Chengkong's threats. Chengkong had some friendship with Jiang Erye's father, so Jiang Erye believed that Chengkong would not harm him; secondly, because Jiang Erye and Jiang Ling's biological father, Ren Muyuan, had a drink in Kang'an City, and he thought that person was very pleasing to the eye. Jiang Erye believed in his own vision very much, so Aiwu and Wudi took pity on Jiang Ling, and the person who protected Jiang Ling could not be a bad person in Jiang Erye's eyes.
Uncle Qiu then confessed his identity to Jiang Erye, "The old slave's real name is Qiu Jing, and he was originally a military division under the command of Zuo Wuwei, the old general Ren Anhan."
"Pfft—" Jiang Erye sprayed his face on the table, widened his eyes and said, "Are you Qiu Jing?"
Uncle Qiu turned around and took a clean rag to clean the soup, water, and water on the table, "Old slave is not talented, it is Qiu Jing. Second master, don't hear that the scholar arranges indiscriminately, Zuo Wuwei can retreat from the enemy, it is all in the mind of the old general. Tactically, the soldiers fought with their lives, and the old slave just followed suit."
Jiang Bao looked at Jiang Erye, for fear that he would jump off his feet and be angry with them for hiding such a big thing from him.
Jiang Erye stared at Uncle Qiu, who was cleaning the table for him, and couldn't react.
Qiu Jing is also a famous person in Kang'an. He is the most famous military advisor among the ten guards of the Great Zhou Imperial Army. He has made several plans to help Zuo Wuwei to repel the Khitan army. Storytellers in various teahouses often talk about Qiu Jing, saying that he is more beautiful than Zhou Gongjin, and he is a great man compared to Zhuge Liang.
Jiang Erye touched his chin and began to look at Uncle Qiu again.
If Uncle Qiu didn't have these scars on his face, and he was a few decades younger, he might indeed be half his own appearance, and Zhou Gongjin estimated that it would be similar.
On this aspect, Jiang Erye also strongly agrees. Uncle Qiu is proficient in the "Seven Books of Martial Arts", and can integrate the famous battle examples of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the previous dynasties into the Seven Classics, which is particularly thorough.
Such a person has been a slave in his own house for three years...
Jiang Erye took the rag in his hand and put it aside, cupped his hands and said, "Someone has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, please don't blame me sir."
Uncle Qiu bowed and said, "Don't you mention your bravery back then? This old slave receives the kindness of the second master, and is willing to serve the second master as the master, and he will not change until his death."
This is really good! The corners of Jiang Erye's mouth were raised, and his eyes were bright and he asked, "Sir, Jiang has asked you to give instructions on the art of warfare. How is it now compared to those generals in the northwest?"
Uncle Qiu said solemnly, "The second master is good at assessing the situation, and his intelligence is far better than others. If he is in the northwest, he can definitely shock one side."
Jiang Erye's smile became brighter, "Mr. didn't tease me, did you?"
"The old slave's sentence is true."
"Really? Master thinks so too." Jiang Erye smiled extremely satisfied, and gave Uncle Qiu a bowl of noodles himself, "Mister eat noodles."
You can get along well in places like the capital, where the dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. Isn't that a piece of cake in the Northwest Megatron side? Jiang Bao silently retracted his head, leaned on the door frame and looked at the floating clouds in the sky, secretly thinking that the second master is still too tender, so deceiving...
Fortunately, they are guarding him. If he is targeted by bad people, he is afraid that he will have to count the money for others if he is sold. You have to protect Jiang Erye yourself.
In the house, Uncle Qiu sat down with his hands down and said politely, "Second Master, please call the old slave Uncle Qiu in the future."
Jiang Erye shook his head solemnly, "Mr. is Mister, not Uncle Qiu. Uncle Qiu can only manage a few small shops, and Mister can be of great use."
Uncle Qiu smiled, "The old man would be more respectful than obedient."
After eating three bowls of noodles gracefully and quickly, Erye Jiang put down his chopsticks contentedly, rinsed his mouth with tea, and asked, "Sir, what is the grudge between Ren Muyuan and Jiang Jinzong?"
Uncle Qiu cleaned up the tableware and then replied, "When the old general was appointed as the head coach of Zuo Wuwei, Jiang Jinzong was the vanguard general in the camp, and his son Jiang Zhenyuan also served in Zuowuwei. Eleven years ago, the Khitan army colluded with the three surrounding tribes, The entire line was pressed, burning, killing and looting, trying to seize thirteen cities in the surrounding area. The elites of Zuowuwei came out and fought hard for half a month with the Khitan tribes. It was not until the reinforcements of the Youjinwuwei arrived that they drove the Khitan out of the surrounding area."
With just a few words from Uncle Qiu, Jiang Erye heard his blood boil, "This war master knows that Zuo Wuwei's elites are all out, and when the Khitan attacked the big camp, Uncle Qiu played the flute and sang an empty city plan to scare off the Khitan with one person's strength. Five thousand elite soldiers!"
Uncle Qiu…
"Second Master, that was compiled by storytellers, this old man has no such ability."
"Oh..." Jiang Erye stretched his voice, half believing it or not.
Uncle Qiu continued, "In that battle, Zuo Wuwei's elite soldiers lost more than 23,600 people, and 83 generals were lost. Major general Ren Chengyuan and Jiang Jinzong's son Jiang Zhenyuan were among them. Jiang Jinzong's death of Jiang Zhenyuan Blame it on the old general, accusing the old general of deliberately targeting the Jiang family, before sending Jiang Zhenyuan into danger."
"The old general took pity on him for the pain of losing his son and did not care about him. After three years of planning, the old general finally got the opportunity to lead his troops into the Khitan territory, captured the Khitan king and the Khitan commander alive, and killed more than 10,000 Khitan troops. The Khitan retreated. Eighty miles away, he handed down a letter to the table and asked for peace. After he entered Beijing to offer victory, the old general was unable to recover from his old injury, so he had to put up a seal to report to the old man. Jiang Jinzong was appointed as Zuo Wuwei's coach. Major general Ren Muyuan also followed the old general back to the border town Guarding general, General Fengyuan is in his later years. The second master will know what happens next."
Jiang Erye said regretfully, "The old general should not give up the position of commander-in-chief to Jiang Jinzong."
"Jiang Jinzong's appointment as head coach is not the recommendation of the old general, but the will of the emperor." Uncle Qiu explained, "Because Jiang Jinzong would embarrass the Ren family, the old general took the young general to avoid the border town. Who knew he was so vicious, It's going to destroy Ren's family!"
Jiang Erye commented, "The old general is a military general, and he is good at fighting and not good at tactics. He should not bring Ren Muyuan home. Ren Muyuan is in his prime, and Zuo Wuwei has no place to live. He can move his nest to other places, as long as he Jiang Jinzong does not dare to be presumptuous even in an important official position."
"The second master is right. It's just that General Ren is not as brave and intelligent as his father and brother, and there are many talents in the Dazhou Imperial Army. Even if he went elsewhere, he would not survive. Therefore, the Ren family pinned their hopes on the generation of Young Master Ling, and hoped that he would one day be reborn. Zhen Ren's house."
Hearing this, Jiang Erye sighed deeply, "The Ren family is very similar to the Jiang family. Although my grandfather is not as famous as the old general, he is also a talented minister. When they get old, it is difficult for their sons to inherit their father's business. , we can only pin our hopes on our grandchildren... No, the Jiang family is pinning their hopes on their great-grandchildren, and our three brothers are not good enough."
