Rise From the Humble

"General Wang, for the sake of the safety of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, I would like to ask the general to be considerate and wait until the identification of the general and others is completed. If there is indeed no problem with the general and his party, the general will open the city gate and welcome the general and all brothers into the city. At that time, I will definitely bow down to the ground and pay homage to the general and brothers to show my apology and respect."

Faced with General Wang's arrogant and arrogant curses, the deputy general explained the whole story on the city wall with sweat dripping from his head.

"Fuck you, don't give me all these things. For the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, this general and more than a thousand soldiers under his command braved the bone-breaking cold, as well as the Japanese pirates' counterattacks and traps, Resolutely going out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates, risking your body and life, is truly for the hundreds of thousands of people in the city! You, a cow-headed turtle who cowers in the city and dare not leave the city, have what qualifications do you have in front of us? For the sake of the people of the city?! Hurry up and come down and open the city gate. All the chicken, duck, fish, and hot broth are ready for us brothers. I will give a good reward to these brothers under my command."

General Wang continued to hold the riding whip, pointed at the deputy general in the city, cursed him like crazy, and ordered him to come down and open the door.

"General." The deputy general could hardly lift his head after being scolded, and struggled to persuade him again.

"Look at you, are you a general, or am I a general? If you still recognize me as a general, get down and open the door for me immediately! This damn weather, I just chased the Japanese pirates and fought with them, and I got a lot of trouble. Sweat, in this moment, the sweat has frozen. I am almost freezing to death! My brothers are freezing to death too! The beeping sound is coming, hurry up and get down and open the door for me!"

General Wang whipped the horse's butt hard, spurred the horse forward two steps, pulled the horse's reins, and aggressively cursed the deputy general.

The lieutenant general was so scolded that he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to look back in embarrassment at Shang Wei, the prefect of Suzhou who had just arrived, asking for help.

"Has General Wang been so domineering before?" Shang Wei, the prefect of Suzhou, just arrived and asked as he walked towards the wall.

"General, he's usually fine. He only speaks louder when his subordinates have different voices." The deputy general hesitated and explained in a low voice.

I don’t know if he is telling the truth or if he is telling the truth.

After hearing this, Magistrate Shang nodded noncommittally, strode to the wall, loudly shouted to General Wang at the bottom of the city with a smile, "Haha, why is General Wang so angry?"

"I"

General Wang was about to curse after hearing this ridicule. He looked up and saw that it was Magistrate Shang. He couldn't help but hold back his curse, swallowed it back, and bowed with his hands clasped in fists, saying, "I don't know if your Majesty is here, please forgive me for wearing my armor." I am unable to perform the full ceremony, so please forgive me."

"General Wang, you're too polite. At this critical moment when the whole city is fighting against the Japanese, we still care about those false courtesy."

Magistrate Shang waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu. Just now, Mr. Fu asked me why I am so angry. It is really because I feel aggrieved. Of course, I am aggrieved secondarily. The main reason is that I feel aggrieved for my brothers. The Japanese pirates are attacking the city with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The lives of the people are in danger, the governor has the people in his heart, and the general also has the responsibility of guarding the territory in his heart!"

"Today the Japanese pirates attacked the city again and were defeated by me and all the soldiers. The Japanese pirates were frantic and imitated General Zhu outside the city and used artillery shells to attack the city. The Japanese pirates used a carriage to pull a cart of artillery shells and rushed to the city gate. At the critical moment, fortunately, I was killed. Shocked by the arrow, the Japanese pirates dropped the fire bomb and ignited the shells in advance, killing and injuring scores of Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates were demoralized and defeated across the board. In order to complete their efforts in one battle and prevent the Japanese pirates from repeating their old tricks, they pushed the shells to blow up the city gate. , for the safety of the people in the city, the final general had to risk his life and death, go out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates, and defeat the Japanese pirates, so that they did not dare to peek into Suzhou City. The final general Xiaoming was so powerful that with a wave of his arms, a thousand soldiers removed their heads from their pants. Take it on your belt and follow me out of the city to chase the Japanese pirates."

"After we left the city, we experienced more than 30 large and small battles. We braved the sword forest and fought with swords until the edge was curled. The quiver was empty. Almost all the brothers were injured. We did not hesitate to sacrifice our lives just to protect Suzhou City, but In the end, the brothers fought one after another, and returned to the city of Suzhou that we spared no effort to protect with our lives and blood. We wanted to have a sip of hot soup and a sip of hot food, but were locked out of the city gate?! We still have to identify, this is Do you think I and a bunch of brothers who went out of the city to drive away Japanese pirates are traitors and Japanese pirates?!"

"I feel aggrieved, and I feel even more aggrieved by my brothers. My Lord, the city we protect at the risk of our lives treats us like this. To be honest, it's really a bit chilling now. If I bring my brothers into the city for a drink, If I can’t make hot soup or even a bite of hot food, how can I have the nerve to ask my brothers to work hard in the future?!”

General Wang shouted his grievances to Magistrate Shang in a very emotional manner. When he talked about the excitement, the corners of his eyes became wet.

"General Wang, I understand how you feel. I will not let you be wronged. Just now I have ordered the largest restaurant in the city to prepare the most sumptuous food and wine for you. I also specially ordered the most famous knife in the city for making mutton soup. , with fifty assistant cooks, he will boil ten pots of mutton soup for you, make two thousand mutton and green onion pancakes, and also bring you a hundred jars of old rice wine from the wine shop, so that you can eat and drink well. In addition, , I will reward you based on your merits after the war, and I will never disappoint you."

Magistrate Shang looked at General Wang and the soldiers outside the city, waved his hand, and made a loud promise to them.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." General Wang clasped his fists in thanks, then turned around and raised his arms behind him and shouted, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you quickly thank Mr. Fu."

"Thank you, Lord Fu."

"Hahaha, did you hear that? We have broth to drink, meat cakes to eat, wine to drink, and rewards based on merit. It's really worthwhile for us to follow the general out of the city with our heads in our belts at the risk of our lives. Chasing the Japanese pirates.”

"Thank you, Lord Fu. I am willing to die for Lord Fu!"

A crowd of people behind General Wang shouted, all of them excited and shouting.

"Zhang Heizi, you coward, did you hear what the master said? The master has prepared wine and food for us, as well as mutton soup, mutton cakes and old rice wine. Why don't you come down and open the door so that we can enter the city and enjoy it."

Taking advantage of Magistrate Shang's words, General Wang once again waved his hand to the deputy general on the city wall and gave an unceremonious order, urging him to go down the city wall and open the city gate.

"No hurry, no hurry, General Wang, please be patient. It takes time to prepare the food in the restaurant, and the mutton soup will also need to be cooked for a while. Before inviting you to enter the city, I would like to make a simple identification, and it is also a good idea for the hundreds of thousands of folks in the city. Be responsible, I believe General Wang will be considerate, right, General Wang?"

Magistrate Shang said with a smile outside.

"You still need to identify it?" General Wang was stunned for a moment.

"Is there something wrong with General Wang? But it doesn't matter." Magistrate Shang said with a smile.

"No, no, just identify it. I just ask the governor to speed up. We are hungry, thirsty, tired and cold outside the city." General Wang shook his head and said helplessly.

"Easy to say, easy to say." Magistrate Shang nodded with a smile.
