Chapter 132 Courage to Conquer the Hearts of the Generals
After hearing what Dong Xi said, Shi Jin gradually felt more favorable towards him. Shi Jin nodded affirmatively and said, "Without further delay, I would like to ask you all to go to the Beicheng Tower to help out. When we get there, we will meet with the people there." "The defenders said, 'Tianhe Daoli', they will know that you are one of our own. When I return to the West Tower in a while, I will send someone to pass on the message again. Everyone, please be careful."
"Brother, don't worry." After saying this, Dong Xi and the other three clasped their fists and led the troops in a hurry.
Just as Shi Jin sent away Dong Xi and three others, three more came here, namely Peng Chen, the second-in-command from the Xining Temple area, Wang Shao, the local tyrant from the Mingde Street area, Li Yuanhu, the local snake from the Caishikou area, and Shi Jin one by one. After sizing up these three people, he was secretly satisfied, and just as he had just explained to Dong Xi, he also roughly told them the strategy of defending the city. Peng Chen and others clasped their fists and said: "Brother Shi, don't worry, I'll wait and see." To honor the general's command and guard the south gate," he also took his brothers under his command.
Just after Shi Jin sent Peng Chen and others away, when he turned around to look at each other, he saw a capable man standing in front of the two battalions with a very embarrassed expression. Seeing that there was no one on Shi Jin's side, the man After hesitating for a moment, he walked over, looked at Shi Jin with his hands clasped in fists, and then bowed down and said, "Di Yan has seen the great master."
Shi Jin took a closer look and saw that the young man in front of him was about 21 or 22 years old. Not only was his skin white, but his face was also very handsome. Shi Jin looked pleasing to the eye and looked at it a few times, but he only had two arms. His upper body muscles were very strong, Shi Jin still helped him up with his hands, and said enthusiastically: "We are all brothers from now on, why should we be like this? I think this heroic man in Huayin County, that is, my brother is about the same age as me, so There is no need for such a big gift,"
Di Yan nodded slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say it out loud, so he choked in his mouth and became hesitant. Seeing him like this, Shi Jin felt uncomfortable for him, so he gently put his hand Putting his hand on Di Yan's shoulder, he said very intimately: "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
"It's not that I, Di Yan, don't want to be happy, it's actually...how do I...how to give in to this matter, I...I don't know...how to say this, I'm afraid of breaking the rules of eldest brother, but they... ...," Di Yan said, lowering his face and looking at the blood-stained bluestone floor tiles on the ground with some embarrassment.
"They," Shi Jin said, turning to look at the two reorganized battalions not far away, then looked at Di Yan seriously and said, "What rules do they want you to break?"
Di Yan saw that Shi Jin's brows were slightly knit together, and it seemed that he had misunderstood, so he immediately added: "The boss may have misunderstood. It's not about committing adultery, but about a brother who is familiar with me." Quite a lot, many leaders of small forces died in this fire. Everyone came to join Big Brother's tent. Brothers from both camps came to recommend me to be the leader. Big Brother, you said I..."
Shi Jin saw through the subtle meaning as soon as he heard it, so he smiled slightly and said: "Brother Xian, I'm afraid it's not that I'm afraid of breaking my rules, but you're afraid of provoking criticism from people in other camps, right?"
Di Yan raised his face slightly, looked at Shi Jin's soul-catching eyes, paused for a moment and nodded, saying: "That's the truth, others can command hundreds of people, but I can command two people by myself." Ying, although it is said that 'if he is not envied by others, he is not a true man', but if this continues, I am afraid it will affect the harmony between brothers in the future, and it will also bring a lot of trouble to the eldest brother in the military and political affairs in the future."
Shi Jin is very clear in his heart, but Di Yan can think of this step and rise to the collective interests. This shows that the person in front of him not only has a high reputation, but is also a sensible person with some far-sightedness, and so on. Talents, if taught properly, will be of great use. Therefore, Shi Jin smiled and comforted him: "Since it is the wish of the brothers, it doesn't matter if you do it. I guess you must have something outstanding, so I will obey you." Man, I guess no one has anything to say."
Di Yan squeezed his hands slightly, sighed, and said: "Master, you don't know something. I, Di Yan, am just a little good at shooting, so I have gained some fame. If you can't match my fighting skills on the battlefield, then I really don’t dare to show my embarrassment. What I’m worried about is that if I bring my brothers from this company and battalion to follow me on the battlefield and embarrass myself, wouldn’t that be betraying my elder brother’s trust and betraying the hard work of my brothers?”
After hearing this, Shi Jin felt even more satisfied. Let's not talk about his kung fu, but the character he showed now is something that is rare to find in the market. Perhaps, it is also because of this that there are so many people. My brothers are willing to push him out.
But it is the best strategy for a general to make the best use of one's talents. Shi Jin thought that no matter how humble Di Yan was, he still had to try his true skills before making arrangements. Otherwise, he would make arrangements hastily and make things worse. Ruining someone's life was not a proper way to deal with it, so Shi Jin immediately turned around and left without looking back. This made Di Yan, who was standing there, confused and embarrassed. What does this mean?
Just when Di Yan was in a dilemma and constantly speculating in his mind, Shi Jin also walked quickly for about a hundred steps. After taking the last step, he immediately stopped, turned around and said to Di Yan: "Di Yan, get your bow. Shoot an arrow into my hand and see." As he said this, Shi Jin raised his right hand and interlocked his four fingers with his thumb to form a hollow ring.
After hearing this, Di Yan was immediately dumbfounded, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and asked quickly: "Master, what did you say?"
Shi Jin smiled easily and said: "I said, you use your bow and arrow, shoot an arrow into my hand, let me see what you are capable of, and convince everyone, so there will be no gossip in the future."
"Master, this...how does this make it possible? What if I miss and hurt the body of my eldest brother?" Di Yan was already very moved when he heard Shi Jin glance at it. Not only the affirmation, but also the deep trust, and Shi Jin's move also conquered Di Yan's heart domineeringly. In this world, not to mention Shi Jin, the master of Shaohua Mountain who has already become famous, is the most powerful person in the world. Ordinary people will not let you be so bold as to ask you to shoot them. The atmosphere in this situation really has the potential to swallow up the heaven and earth.
"What's the big deal? If it hurts me, it's because the sword and arrow don't have eyesight. What does it have to do with you, Di Yan, it's okay if you just shoot," Shi Jin said sincerely towards Di Yan to eliminate his worries. .
"this……"
Shi Jin saw that he was still hesitant and refused. If this continued, it would take until the Year of the Monkey to untie the shackles in his heart. So Shi Jin immediately loudly said: "Di Yan, you are such a dignified man, why should you hesitate for this arrow? Are you underestimating my inability to advance in history? If not, then quickly draw your bow and arrow and shoot through my hole first. Later, I will ask you to shoot through the roaring officers and soldiers outside the city. You are so hesitant. Yu, how to get on the battlefield, how to seize the opportunity,"
After listening to Shi Jin's words, Di Yan knew that Shi Jin was giving him courage, and if he continued to resign humbly, he would be acting like a sissy rather than a man, so he loudly echoed Shi Jin's words and took a strong bow in his hand. Putting on the bow and arrow, two slender fingers filled the bow string sonorously. Di Yan reminded in the direction of Shi Jin: "Master, be careful. I shot three arrows, and the first arrow is about to come."
"Good man, I'm waiting,"
After receiving Shi Jin's order, Di Yan gently closed his eyes and aimed the arrow steadily at the circle on Shi Jin's right hand.
At this moment, Shi Qian, who was hiding on the roof in the dark, stared at Di Yan as he drew the bowstring full, and saw that he was about to get drunk. He couldn't help but feel frightened for Shi Jinxuan, and his palms were covered with sweat, and he felt a surge in his heart. He complained angrily: "My good brother, why are you so reckless?" However, it was difficult to stop Shi Qian at this moment. Just now Shi Jin had ordered that no one should follow him, but Shi Jin was now single-handedly using his inherent courage to Having conquered the evil forces in Huayin County, if Shi Qian showed up at this time, I'm afraid it would only bring a negative image to Shi Jin, making the people below think that Shi Jin had secretly ambushed Bing Jia, so he dared to be alone. It would be a trivial matter to go into the streets strewn with corpses with words and hands to recruit surrender. When the time comes, the loss of Shi Jin's prestige will be a small matter. If it triggers a series of defections, it will be like "one careless move and the whole game is lost."
Shi Qian couldn't stop him, so he had to think of ways to protect Shi Jin in the dark, but when he looked around and saw the tiles, there was indeed no one who could do anything. Just when Shi Qian was very anxious, he just listened to Di Yan Yelled: "Wow,".
The arrow feathers shot through the air with a whooshing sound. Shi Qian was so startled that his heart suddenly tightened. He broke off a piece of tile corner in his hand. At the same time, his eyes quickly turned to look at Shi Jin. As long as the arrow dared to hurt Shi Jin, At the slightest moment, Shi Qian used a small piece of tile angle to shine directly into the rabbit's temple from the dark place.
Under the watchful eyes of many brothers, the arrow made a whooshing sound, quickly passed through the annular hole created by Shi Jin's right hand, and penetrated deeply into the bluestone bricks under the pool of blood at the back, eliciting cheers from everyone.
Shi Jin was very happy when he saw this move. You must know that at the beginning of this career, what was most lacking was generals. Therefore, Shi Jin also praised the good archery skills again and again.
"Master, that's ridiculous. Be careful. The second arrow is coming." Di Yan shot an arrow. At this moment, he no longer had the same hesitation as before. He put the arrow on the bow and shot another arrow. This time , which made Shi Qian scream in his heart, but the result was a cheer, and the arrow stably passed through Shi Jin's bracelet and inserted into the ground behind him.
"Master, this is the last arrow. I'm sorry for you." After saying that, there was a sound of bow strings vibrating, followed by an even more enthusiastic explosion.
When Shi Qian turned his eyes and looked around, he couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face. My good brother, you turned out to have such good intentions...
