第五章 诺言（三 下）

“但请来将军满饮此杯！”一干齐郡文武纷纷举盏齐眉，遥相致敬。来护儿推脱不得，只好举起酒盏与众人同饮。酒入口前，他却幽幽地叹了口气，仿佛有无数愤恨都硬压在胸口，没有机会可以宣泄出来。众人以为他要讲几句场面话，他却又没了下文，端起酒，一口闷了干净。
这可不是旭子印象中的来老将军模样。记得在虎牢关前，老将军对所有人都是一幅笑模样，笑着笑着就把别人算计了进去，顺带着狠狠“抽”宇文述一个大耳光。要说放眼整个大隋谁会让来护儿吃瘪，恐怕除了皇上，就是六大世家了。可眼下是领兵在外？谁有那么大本事让他心中有苦说不出来。
正费心思揣测对方心思时，通守张须陀又举起了第二盏酒。张老将军贺得是全体东征将士平安凯旋，亦让客人找不出理由拒绝。来护儿又干了个底朝天，却不举盏回敬，黑着脸，自顾对着一几菜肴猛嚼。
如此一来，酒宴的气氛就难免尴尬了。张须陀将头偏向李旭，用目光示意他上前跟对方絮絮旧，拉近一下宾主之间的关系。没等李旭捧着酒盏起身，对面次席上，兵部侍郎，水师长史崔君肃抢先跳了出来。
“此番上蒙大隋国运兴隆，陛下运筹帷幄。下依将士用命，文武齐心。终于令高元小儿束手，大隋国威重扬……。”
他细声细气的，还带着几分公鸭嗓。虽然话说得平平仄仄如诗一般上口，却着实听得众人浑身不舒服。齐郡诸君还勉强能赔起笑脸，随同来护儿等人一同前来的几位将领却全低下了头，从耳朵到脖颈全部变成了青黑色。
看来问题就出在这位崔大人身上了，不知道此人出身于河间崔氏还是清河崔氏，靠着谁家的门荫混入了兵部？李旭仔细一观察对面众人的脸色，便知道来护儿等武将与文官出身的崔君肃起了嫌隙。凭着自身地位和第一次辽东之战留下的强烈印象，本能地他选择了维护武将们的利益。因此举起面前的酒盏，笑着打断了崔君肃的罗嗦。
“可惜末将无福，未能亲睹诸位将军风采。谨以此酒，为诸为将军一洗胄上征尘！”
“不敢，不敢。比起李郎将当年虎牢关前英姿，我等此番皆是徒劳无功！”来护儿见李旭起身给自己敬酒，勉强恢复了一点兴致，笑着回答。
“可惜李将军没赶上这次东征。陛下以仁德服人，推圣恩于化外…….”借着众人的话头，崔君肃再次插言。
“是啊，家父生前，亦常常向我辈说起李将军力挽狂澜之勇。说你三破敌阵，于数万敌军之前高呼展旗，当场敌我将士近四十万，无人不为之神夺！”坐在客人末首的一名年青周姓武将亦举起酒盏来，遥向李旭回敬。
照常理，在来护儿、崔君肃等上司没回应前，坐在他那个位置上的人是没有资格向主人答谢的。但偏偏今天的事情怪，水师大总管没说话前，长史先露了脸。所以后生晚辈不讲究次序，也不能完全算做失礼了。
齐郡众文武暗自心道不妙，大伙热情宴客，却没想到站到了一个大漩涡边。眼看着水师中文职武将钩心斗角，做主人的搭腔也不是，不打腔更麻烦。仿佛走进了一个忘记留门的空房子，怎么走都行不通。
裴操之暗暗向李旭使眼色，示意他尽量维护好漩涡中的双方。旭子轻轻向老太守点点头，然后举起面前的酒盏来，向周姓武将回应道：“令尊可是周法尚周老将军，当年李某有幸曾和老将军并肩作战，没想到不过一载”他顿了顿，故意用低沉的语调发出一声长叹，“唉，愿他得知我大隋最终让高句丽臣服的消息，心怀大慰。这盏酒，敬周老将军和诸位在天上关注着我大隋的先辈！”
“敬周老将军和在天上关注着我大隋的先辈。”众人皆正色，回应。
酒宴前宾主寒暄时，来护儿曾经向大伙介绍过周姓武将的家世。此人名叫周绍范，是水师副都督周法尚将军的幼子。大伙听了，也只把姓周的当成了一个借父辈余荫去军中混资历的世家子弟而已，根本没多加以关注。此时听闻周法尚将军已经亡故，不觉对少年人多看了几眼。话题也自然而然地从征服高丽之功，转到了对周老将军的追思中来。把个崔君肃急得心中如有数千只蚂蚁在爬，偏偏却插不上话，表不得自家功劳。想找个机会发做，此间主人的行事又附和人之常情，他一个大活人跟死人争风吃醋，龌龊心思的确有些上不得台面。
“此番出师之前，周贤弟已经染恙，却坚持送我到海边。来某至今仍记得他的遗言，句句如刀！崔大人，你当日也在，可否将周将军的话转述一次？”跟大伙聊了一会有关周法尚将军的往事，来护儿摇头，叹息。
崔君肃正急得心痒难搔，终于等来了表现的机会，怎肯轻易放过。当即站直了身躯，正色说道：“崔某怎会忘记。周老将军有云：‘吾再临沧海，未能利涉，时不我与，将辞人世。立志不果，命也如何’”
说罢，四下拱手，以期众人能称赞自己超强的记忆力。却发现整个大厅鸦雀无声，主人和客人都举起了酒盏，对着天空中的英魂，遥遥相敬。
壮志未酬，远在天外的那些英魂，他们对着今天的尴尬结果，能瞑目么？
