Chapter 259: Wu Jifang reminded
Wu Dayong walked in front of Zhou Ming, straightened his demeanor, and saluted with his fists according to the rules of the army, "Wu Jifang, the small flag of the left army, meet the prince of the world." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
His real name is Wu Jifang, and he used to think that he should have a majestic name when he walked the rivers and lakes, so he named himself Wu Dayong. After joining the army, he naturally had to use his real name.
He had been wandering outside the courtyard gate for a long time just now, and he had been hesitating to see Zhou Ming.
At first glance, when he heard Luo Ping call himself, he thought that he was running away, and when he turned around, he wanted to escape. But think about it again, didn't you wait for half a day just to talk about things? Besides, it's not a shame to run away from home, and I ran back again.
After he left home in a negative mood that night from Yunchang Town, he didn't know where he should go, so he walked all the way north.
I got acquainted with a few people from the rivers and lakes on the Yanshan side, and everyone said that they wanted to go to the army to fight for a career, and he thought it was a good way to do it. If he had become a general by virtue of his military exploits, his father would definitely never dislike him for practicing martial arts and not practicing literature. If he is a general, then it doesn't matter who he marries, right?
So, he followed those Jianghu people to the north to join the army.
There were many wars with the Northern Barbarians on the Northland side, and sporadic battles continued.
He fought bravely and was good at martial arts, and later his team died in battle with the small flags. He accumulated military merits and was promoted, and was promoted to a small banner.
Zhou Ming walked around in the army, and he had seen it a few times, but he was holding back a breath in his heart, he must rely on his own ability to make meritorious contributions and come out like a person. When he returned home, he wanted his grandmother and father to take a look, so he never thought of asking to see Zhou Ming, the son of the world.
As soon as the little worry in his heart was put aside, he immediately fell into a generous manner, and walked closer in a few steps, "Zhou Shizi, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Luo Ping, long time no see! ”
Zhou Ming heard him call himself Xiaoqi, and then looked at his outfit, "Dongping Village, you are looking for people everywhere in your house, it turns out that you are here in the army." ”
"Hey, that's. A good man must join the army! Wu Dayong's chest straightened, and the heroic spirit of the rivers and lakes that he hadn't seen for a long time showed a little more, "I want to kill the enemy for the country and rely on military merits to seal my wife and son." ”
Zhou Ming was originally quite happy to see his acquaintance at first glance, and when he heard the words "seal his wife and son", he immediately thought of why Wu Jifang ran away. However, just now, the soldiers said that this is King Cheng's life-saving benefactor, and he coughed a few times, "Ji Fang, thank you for saving my father before the battle." ”
"What is this, we ...... in the rivers and lakes"
Hearing this Wu Dayong's signature statement, Luo Ping wanted to laugh but had to hold back, and finally choked several times.
Wu Jifang coughed to himself, "That...... I mean, it's the duty of the whole military. That, Zhou Shizi, I didn't stay to show merit, it's just that this thing feels strange. ”
Wu Jifang was afraid that Zhou Ming would misunderstand him wandering here, so he hurriedly said something to ask for merit and reward.
"I know, you are a good person, you can talk about the doubts in this matter first." Zhou Ming knew that Wu Dayong was not such a person, so he praised him.
"At that time, the left army was rushing forward after seeing the prince's order, and as a result, we suddenly found that the prince's horse was wrong, and ran forward first, and then I saw that the horse's hind leg was shot with an arrow. Our general ordered us to keep up with the protection of the prince. I stood in front and followed closely, and after the prince rushed into the battle formation, the Beiban side shot an arrow at him, and the prince did not avoid an arrow. Later, as soon as the prince fell off the horse, he heard someone outside shouting to run......"
Wu Jifang thought about the situation at that time, and carefully talked about what happened before and after, and at the end, he said, "At that time, the two armies were rushing and killing, and they were in chaos, and the prince fell off his horse. ”
Zhou Ming nodded, but unfortunately the war horse of King Cheng had already run away, and he didn't know where to go in the melee, otherwise he could still rely on that feather arrow to find the person behind him. Now, it is not easy to find out who is the black hand from these 200,000 troops.
Wu Jifang saw that Zhou Ming didn't speak, scratching his head, "That, Lord Shizi, I'm done, if it's okay, I'll retire first." ”
Zhou Ming was inconvenient to keep him at this time, nodded in agreement, and asked him which battalion of the left army he was under again.
"Master, is there a traitor in the army?" Luo Ping asked with some concern.
"This traitor is not colluding with the Northern Barbarians, but I'm afraid that he is colluding with Shu." Zhou Ming thought carefully for a moment and connected the recent events.
Li Shiji, the king of Teng, actually wanted to assassinate his father?
"You don't have to pay attention to the matter here, just protect my father and return to Beijing, as soon as possible. There are also people sent to Mingzhou, and they must also hurry up. ”
"Don't worry, we will swear to protect the prince to the death." Luo Ping's face straightened, and he said solemnly with his fists clenched.
Zhou Ming didn't say anything more, let them go down and prepare.
He walked slowly towards the council chamber on his own.
Most of the generals in the north were promoted by the Zhou family, and they should be loyal and reliable to the Chengwang Mansion. Now, my father has been plotted in front of the two armies, will it be the general in the army who is the one who killed him?
Zhou Ming thought about it carefully and shook his head secretly, no, the generals in the army are still reliable. This dark ghost must be hiding among the soldiers.
At that time, he fought in front of the battle, he led the forward battalion to fight with the Northern Barbarians, the right army followed behind him, and those who followed his father should be the people of the left army and the rear army.
These generals are all on horses, and if they bend their bows and arrows, it is difficult to hide their eyes and ears in front of everyone.
Besides, judging from what Wu Jifang said, the Northern Barbarians didn't know in advance that their father would rush into the army today. They were just waiting for news, and when they heard someone shouting to flee, the Marshal of the Northern Barbarians sent troops to attack.
If they had known in advance, they would not have fired only a few arrows, but would have spread a wide net and waited outside.
If King Teng has already bribed the generals, then the generals can directly report to the Beiban, or agree on the signal before the battle, instead of relying on the chaos of the soldiers in front of the battle to judge the situation.
Thinking about these places, Zhou Ming felt a little relieved, as long as he was not a general in the army who collaborated with the enemy, it would be easy to do.
Walking outside the council room, he took a deep breath, and the cold wind made him a little more conscious.
The generals who were waiting here were talking, the soldiers were all loud, and the roof of the council hall was about to be opened.
"You've been waiting for a long time." Zhou Ming strode into the hall and said loudly.
Seeing Zhou Ming enter the door, everyone was dumbfounded, and after a while, they chased after him and asked how King Cheng's injury was.
Zhou Ming suppressed all his worries and panic, and just said lightly that he was going to send him back to Beijing to ask the imperial doctor to take a look again, and he had already set off.
Everyone looked at Zhou Ming's tone, although King Cheng was seriously injured, he should not worry about his life, and they were all relieved.
Qin An, the general of the left army, was the closest to King Cheng, but he couldn't protect the prince, so he held back the fire in his belly, "Shizi, the prince's horse was suddenly frightened and ran to the front of the battle, and there are people who dare to disturb the army's heart in front of the battle." This has never happened before in our Northlands, so we need to find out. ”
