The night was already deep, and Dakui couldn't sleep for a while. He lay in the horse trough, looking at the stars, and couldn't help but feel sad. He thought that he was a great minister and had great glory, but now he has fallen into a state of sin, and it is his fate.
"Brother Dakui, you haven't gone to bed yet," a loud voice rang in his ears. Dakui sat up and turned around to look at the person who came. It was Tang He. Even though it was night, Tang He was still wearing armor, Yuehua. Ru Shui, Tang He walked with their armor clanking, and Dakui was not only in awe, but everyone else was sleeping peacefully, but Brother Tang still hadn't rested.
When he saw the wine jar Tang He was holding, Dakui's eyes not only lit up, but then he thought to himself: "This must be Brother Tang testing me with wine, so I have to be careful," but he said with a smile: " Brother Tang hasn't rested yet," said Dakui. He put his hands on the side of the trough, rolled out of the horse trough and landed on the ground with his feet.
"It's such a good time and beautiful scenery. We've specially prepared good wine to drink with our brothers." Tang He came to Dakui's side and jumped lightly into the horse trough. He was a majestic general who came to the gangtou army. He stopped and sat on the horse trough. While Dakui was stunned, Tang He had already opened the mud seal of the wine jar, and the aroma of wine overflowed for a while.
"Brother Tang, why are you doing this? How can I, Zhang Dakui, drink in the army? Wouldn't it be a violation of military law?" Dakui declined politely, but his eyes were looking at the wine jar in Tang He's hand. Tang He did not speak. , raised the wine jar alone and drank deeply, and then handed the wine jar to Dakui. Dakui reached out to take it, and not only swallowed, the wine was so fragrant.
"I, Tang He, are not a snob. I met you Zhang Dakui in the past and called you brother. Now that you have been in high and low officialdom, you are still my brother Dakui," Tang He said, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
Dakui chuckled and said: "Brother Tang said so, I, Zhang Dakui, didn't show up." After saying that, Dakui also sat on the horse trough, and then asked: "Brother Tang has something on his mind."
Tang He didn't say anything, but he motioned for Da Kui to drink. Da Kui looked at the wine jar in his hand and said with a smile: "How dare I disobey the rules you set? Even as the captain of the Zuo Army, I should strictly abide by them." military order,"
Tang He smiled and said: "Today is different from the past, drink it."
Da Kui looked at Tang He and thought to himself: "Even if Brother Tang says it's okay, then of course it's okay." Thinking of this, Da Kui raised the wine jar and drank it in one go. He drank less than half of the jar before he stopped. He put down the wine jar and said He took a deep breath and praised repeatedly: "This is such a good wine."
I haven't drank for many days, and this heavy drink was really enjoyable. This wine is sweet, very fragrant, and much better than the private wine in the market. Tang He looked at Dakui and smiled and said, "This wine is the royal wine given by the emperor." , so I always keep it with me,"
"Royal wine," Dakui was stunned when he heard the words. He not only looked at the wine jar carefully, but even though it was night, he could see the patterns on the wine jar clearly through the moonlight. Isn’t it a pity?”
Tang He said with a smile: "Good wine depends on who drinks it. All the generals who followed me to fight here and there have never drank this imperial wine. You are the only one who drank it."
"This..." Da Kui was shocked when he heard this. Holding the wine jar, he felt a little at a loss. He immediately said hurriedly: "Brother Tang, why did you say this? I am extremely frightened."
Tang He looked at Dakui and then said: "In three days, the whole army will invade the expansion area, and it will definitely be a bloody melee." After a pause, Tang He continued: "I think brother Dakui can take care of his injuries as soon as possible. The soldiers leave first, and I will send another two thousand soldiers to escort them."
"This..." Da Kui was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "How can this make it difficult for thousands of wounded soldiers to walk, how can they leave as soon as possible, and how can I leave as soon as possible at this critical moment?"
Tang He sighed: "If anyone in our army says that the brave man is not you, how can you shirk it?" Without waiting for Dakui to defend himself, Tang He said again: "I have issued a military order in front of the marshal, and in Qingyang City Before breaking through, the Yuan army was not allowed to pass through one by one. Now General Li has withdrawn all the soldiers and horses of the right army, leaving only the disabled sergeants in the camp. Our left army has 50,000 people. If we want to stop the more than 100,000 yuan army, The outcome is determined,"
"If I leave, I will bear the name of being unkind and unjust. If Brother Tang says so, I will sneak into the Yuan army camp tonight and fight to the death to capture the head of Kuai Kui." With that, Dakui raised his glass of wine. The altar was filled with heavy drinking until not a drop of the wine was left in the altar.
Tang He smiled slightly, looked at Dakui and said, "After so many years, your temper has not changed at all."
Da Kui raised his voice and said: "I, Zhang Da Kui, am an ungrateful person. If it weren't for Brother Tang back then, I would still be the country fool. Now I am in bad luck, no one else is to blame." After saying this, Da Kui actually hit him. I had a wine burp. I hadn’t drank for a long time. Now I drank so much that I felt sixty or seventy percent drunk.
Tang He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and sighed leisurely: "Brother Dakui, it's a good thing that you have an honest heart, but it's only because of your honesty that you've reached where you are now," and then he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Having tasted the beauty of a beautiful wife in a big house, it is inevitable that you will get carried away and one misstep will result in eternal regret!"
Dakui was greatly shocked when he heard this. He heard Tang He say again: "It's a shame that you are still a disciple of Taoism, but you don't know how to be subtle." After a short pause, Tang He then said: "I'm not here tonight to preach and talk. You, don’t act on your impulse. Since you call me Brother Tang, you must listen to my words. Early tomorrow morning, I will send five hundred soldiers to assist you, and all the vehicles in the army will be at your disposal. You should leave this right and wrong as soon as possible. Go to the ground," Tang He said and sighed, then lightly jumped down from the horse feeding trough.
Dakui didn't speak, and Tang He didn't speak either. It happened that a group of patrol soldiers passed by, and Tang He walked over to meet the patrol. The leader happened to be Pang Heihu. Tang He and Pang Heihu whispered a few words and then strode away.
Pang Heihu glanced in the direction of Dakui, then turned around and ordered: "You will go on inspection later." The soldiers took the order, and a school captain led them to continue patrolling at night. Pang Heihu walked towards Dakui, and as soon as he got close, he smelled wine. Taste, he chuckled and asked: "Brother Dakui, do you have some wine?"
Dakui didn't speak, just stared blankly ahead. There was a fire rack in the distance, and there was a brazier. The fire in the basin was raging, and the surrounding area was bright. Pang Heihu followed Dakui's gaze and couldn't help complaining: " Is there anything good to see? Hehehehe," Pang Heihu smiled dryly and approached Dakui and asked: "Brother Dakui, even if you have wine, please take a few sips, brother."
After waiting for a long time, there was no sound from Dakui. Pang Heihu not only muttered: "Brother Tang told me to watch you tonight and you can't go anywhere." Dakui smiled and put the wine jar on the horse trough. Pang Heihu saw this. Overjoyed, he quickly grabbed the wine jar and drank from it. It took him a long time to pour the wine, but there were only a few drops of wine. The wine jar had already been emptied by Da Kui. How could there be any wine?
