Chapter 264: In the Play (18)
Soon, someone reported: "Huang Feihu Tongguan killed Chen Tong." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
reported again: "Piercing Cloud Pass killed Chen Wu." ”
It was also reported: "The boundary card is closed and the yellow roll is thrown into Xiqi." ”
reported again: "Han Rong of Bishui Guan has an urgent report. ”
Wen Taishi saw it and said angrily: "I am the first king of the song and the weight of the orphan. Unexpectedly, today's loss of government, swords and soldiers are everywhere, first against the southeast and the second road. How do you know that the disaster gave birth to the wall, and the disaster came on New Year's Day, and it turned against the heavy ministers. If you can't catch up, you will return halfway, which is the destiny of heaven. Now that success or failure is unknown, how will the rise and fall be determined? I don't dare to bear the grace of the first emperor to entrust the orphan, and do my best to repay the first king. ”
Fate left and right: "The drum will sound." ”
After a while, all the officials arrived to consult and finish, and the Taishi asked: "Rank general!" Now that Huang Feihu has returned to Ji Zhou, there will be trouble. Why don't you start first? Clearly correct his crime, the party is a crusade against the minister, what do you want? ”
Lu Xiong, the chief soldier inside, came out and said: "The last general Qi Taishi, Dong Bohou Jiang Wenhuan, will continue to fight every year, so that the wandering soul Guan Dou Rong will work hard; Nanbohou Eshun, Yueyue Sanshanguan suffers from bad creatures, Deng Jiugong sleeps restlessly; Although Huang Feihu is out of the five levels today, the Taishi can point to the general, and the town is strictly guarded. That Ji Fa raised troops, and there were five levels of resistance; There are two levels of Qinglong and Jiameng on the left and right, even if the flying tiger has the ability, he can't do anything, so why is the Taishi Lao angry? Fang Jin's two places have not stopped, so why bother to give birth to this side of the war? Troublesome for yourself. Moreover, now that the treasury is empty, and there is not enough money and food, it is necessary to weigh it up. Gu Yun: The generals are clear in battle, and the way is to calm the world. ”
Wen Taishi said: "Although the general's words are; I am afraid that the western land will not keep my duty, and if there is trouble, I will be safe and unprepared. Xiqi Nangong Yongguan three armies; Sanyi has a lot of scheming, and Jiang Shang is a moral person, so he must be guarded against. One emptiness, a hundred emptiness, thirst digging wells, how to regret it! ”
Lu Xiong said: "If the Taishi is still undecided, he can send one or two generals out of the five levels to inquire about the news of Xiqi." If it moves, it moves, and if it stops, it stops. ”
Taishi said: "The general's words are yes." ”
Then asked: "Who will go to Xiqi for me?" ”
One of the generals replied: "The end will be wishing." ”
The respondent is the Holy General Chao Tian. Seeing that the Taishi bowed and said: "The last will go here, one is to explore the truth and reality, and the other is to watch Xiqi advance and retreat from the lair." When you look at it, you will know what is going on, and you can move your tongue to be safe. ”
Wen Taishi saw that Chao Tian wanted to go to Dayue. 30,000 horses were ordered, and they left the song on the same day.
Along the way, I only saw the sound of cannons and the sound of gongs that shook the ground; The cannon rang out, and the sea thundered. The gong sounded on the ground, and a thunderbolt flew in front of the mountain; People are like tigers leaving the mountains, and horses are like dragons out of the water.
The flag is swinging, like a five-colored auspicious cloud; The halberd sword is brilliant, but it is like three winters of snow. The void kills the universe, and the clouds are everywhere in the universe; The husband is brave and brave to compete for the first, and the tiger will saddle the saddle and whip the blade. The silver helmet flutters and the white clouds fly, and the armor is bright and brilliant; The rolling people are like draining water, and the surging horses are like foxy.
Chao Tian and Chao Lei people and horses go out of the court, cross the Yellow River, go out of the five passes, live at night in Xiaoxing, and arrive in less than a day. The sentinel horse reported that it had arrived in Xiqi, Chao Tian ordered the camp, the artillery was set up in the camp, and the three armies shouted, and it was Zaxi Gate.
Xu Ming was sitting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and suddenly heard a shout that shook the ground, Xu Ming asked left and right: "Why is there a sound of shouting and killing?" ”
From time to time, there are horses to report to the front of the house: "Master Qi! The people of the song stuck to the west gate, I don't know what happened? ”
Xu Ming pondered what Chengtang had to do to invade, and ordered: "Beat the drum and gather the generals." ”
After a while, the generals went to the hall to pay their respects, and Xu Ming said: "Chengtang people and horses invaded, for some reason? ”
All the generals said, "I don't know." ”
Chao Tian set up camp and discussed with his younger brother: "Today, I was ordered by the Taishi to explore the truth of Xiqi, but I was unprepared. How about going to Xiqi today? ”
Chao Lei said: "The eldest brother's words are reasonable. ”
Chao Lei got on his horse and carried his sword, and went to the city to ask for battle. Xu Ming was discussing, and Tanma reported: "There will be a battle." ”
Xu Ming asked: "Who is going to ask about the virtual and the real?" ”
Before he finished speaking, the general Nangong responded: "The last general is willing to go." Xu Ming nodded in agreement.
Nangong led a group of men and horses out of the city, lined up in formation, and immediately looked at the flag, it was Chao Lei.
Nangong said: "General Chao come slowly!" Why is there no reason to add troops to the West today, but why? ”
Chao Lei said: "I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to hear the military order of the Taishi, and asked if Ji Fa was self-reliant and did not obey the decree of the Son of Heaven; Accepting the traitor Huang Feihu is very hateful. You can quickly enter the city to pay homage to your lord, dedicate the anti-ministers as soon as possible, and send them to the court, so as to avoid the disaster of a county, if you delay, how can you insult it! ”
Nangong smiled: "Chao Lei! The king of Su is guilty of a lot of crimes, killing ministers without thinking about merit, killing ministers hurts the community, making cannons and branding is not admonishable, setting up a basin and a deep palace, killing his uncle and throwing his body, starting Lutai and ten thousand surnames suffered, the king bullied the minister's wife, Wulun was wiped out, and the villain was spoiled. My lord sits in Xiqi, obeys the law and abides by benevolence, the king respects the ministers, and the son is filial to the father. Three points of the world, two points to the west. Taylor is healthy, the army is happy, you dare to invade Xiqi today, it is a disaster of humiliation. ”
Chao Lei was furious, and he rode a horse and danced a knife to take Nangong. Nangong raised his knife to greet him. Two horses intersect, double-edged, a big battle. Nangong and Chao Lei fought for thirty rounds, and Chao Lei was exhausted, where was Nangong's opponent? was sold by Nangong for a flaw, captured alive, tied with ropes, beat the victory drum, and advanced Xiqi.
Nangong came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to listen to the order. dismounted at Yuanmen, and ordered to report to Xu Ming left and right. Xu Mingming: "Come in." ”
When Nangong entered the hall, Xu Ming asked, "Victory or defeat?" ”
Nangong said: "Chao Lei came to attack Xiqi, was captured by the last general, and listened to the command. ”
Xu Ming ordered to push. Push Chao Lei left and right in front of the dripping eaves, and Chao Lei stands without kneeling.
Xu Ming said with a smile: "Since Chao Lei was captured by my general, why didn't he bend his knees to survive?" ”
Chao Lei raised his eyes and shouted: "You are just a villain who makes up and sells noodles, I am a minister of the Heavenly Empire, unfortunately I was captured, and I just died." Are you willing to bend your knees to survive? ”
Xu Ming said angrily: "Launch the beheading." The crowd pushed Chao Lei out.
The generals on both sides, large and small, listened to Chao Lei scolding Xu Ming's shortcomings, and the generals secretly laughed at Xu Ming's shallow background.
What kind of character Xu Ming is, he knows the meaning of the generals. Xu Ming said to the generals: "Chao Lei said that I made up and sold noodles, not to insult me." Xi Yi Yin is a wild horseman, and later supplemented into a soup, which is a business humerus, only in the morning of encounters. ”
Order: "Kill Chao Lei to report." ”
I saw King Wucheng speak: "The prime minister is above, Chao Lei only knows that there is a line, but he does not know that there is a week, and the last general dares to say that this person has surrendered, and then he can get his help." ”
Xu Ming Xu Zhi. Zhao Xu came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw Chao Lei kneeling and waiting for the execution. Zhao Xu said: "General Chao! ”
Chao Lei saw that King Wu Cheng bowed his head and was silent. Zhao Xu said: "You don't know the time, the location, the people. Three points in the world, Zhou Tu has scored two points. East, west, north and south, all of them belong to the family. Although he was strong for a while, it was the old Jianchun cold ears. The evil of the world is known to all the people; There is no rest on the day of the soldiers. The situation in the southeast is restless, and the world can know everything. King Wu is full of Anbang, and Wu can set the country. I want to worship the king of the town of Wucheng in the official, so far I only change one word, the founding of the country and the king, the world returns, and I am happy to follow Zhou. The virtue of King Wu of Zhou, although Yao Shun is not overheard. I strongly advise the prime minister for you today, and the brigadier general will surrender, so that the hairpin can be preserved forever. If you are obsessed, under the execution order, it is difficult to save your life, and it is too late to regret it. ”
Chao Lei was clear-hearted by Zhao Xu's words, and said: "General Huang has resisted Jiang Ziya, and I am afraid that he will not be pardoned." ”
Zhao Xu said: "You have the heart to surrender, I should do my best to protect it." ”
Chao Lei said: "Since it has been protected by the great grace of the general, it is really the grace of regeneration." Will the last general dare to disobey his fate? ”
Zhao Xu entered the mansion, saw Xu Ming, and said that Chao Lei had surrendered.
Xu Ming said: "Killing and surrendering is unjust. General Huang said that the order was released. ”
Chao Lei bowed to the ground under the eaves: "The last general will run away for a while, offending the dignity of the face, and it should be corrected; He is forgiven, and he feels like a mountain. ”
Xu Ming said with a smile: "The general is sincere for the country, brave and brave, all of them are ministers of the same palace, and they are both blessed by the humerus, what is the crime?" Now that the general has returned to Zhou, people from outside the city can be transferred into the city. ”
Chao Lei said: "In the camp outside the city, there is also the last general's brother Chao Tian who is now in the camp, and the last general will come out of the city to meet the prime minister." Xu Ming agreed.
Chao Tian was in the camp and suddenly reported that the second master was captured. Chao Tian was unhappy, and Wen Taishi ordered us to come to explore the void
Actually, when I went to war today, I was unexpectedly captured, and I was frustrated.
Before he could say anything, he reported to the second master to get off the horse. Chao Lei entered the tent to see his brother. Chao Tian said: "You were captured, why did you return?" ”
Chao Lei said: "My brother was captured by Nangong and saw Ziya, and I humiliated Ziya in front of me and beheaded me." There is a speech by King Wucheng, saying that my liver and gall are broken, I will return to Zhou today, please enter the city. ”
Chao Tian scolded when he heard this: "Damn the horseman! You believe that Huang Feihu is a clever word, and he has descended to the western soil, you are in the same party as the anti-thief, how can you meet and hear the Taishi? ”
Chao Lei said: "Brother doesn't know, not only are we returning to Zhou today, but the world is still happy to return to Zhou." ”
Chao Tian said: "I also know those who return to Zhou with joy in the world." You and I have surrendered, but we do not know that we do not think about our parents and wives now singing songs, although we are healthy, and our parents are killed by them, are you and I happy in our hearts? ”
Chao Lei said: "What can I do for today? ”
Chao Tian said: "You get on the horse quickly, you must do this, in order to cover up his merits, before you can return to see the Taishi." ”
Chao Lei according to the plan, got on the horse and entered the city, and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Xu Ming and said: "The last general ordered Brother Chao Tian to surrender, my brother is willing to surrender from the command, just one piece, the last general said that the brother was ordered by the king of Zhou, to conquer Xiqi, this is the order of Qin, although he was not ordered to be captured and returned to Zhou, and my brother came to see him with his hands tied, I am afraid that the generals will see him later." I hope that the prime minister will be raised, and the order will come to the camp to ask for it, and it will be decent. ”
Xu Ming said: "It turns out that you want to invite your brother to enter Xiqi." ”
Xu Ming said again: "Who is going to invite Chao Tian to go?" ”
When Zhao Xu replied: "The last general is willing to go." Xu Ming agreed.
The second general went out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xu Ming ordered Xin Jia and Xin to be exempted from receiving a simple post to move quickly, and the two generals were ordered to go.
Xu Ming ordered again, Nangong led the Jian post to go quickly, and Nangong also received the order.
Zhao Xu and Chao Lei went out of the city and went to the camp gate; I saw Chao Tian Yuanmen bow his head and bow down, and greet King Wucheng and said: "Chitose, please." ”
Zhao Xu entered the three-layer scarf, and Chao Tian shouted: "Take it!" ”
The swordsmen and axes on both sides moved together, scratched the hooks, removed their robes, and tied them with ropes.
Zhao Xu scolded: "Negative and traitorous thief, grace will take revenge." ”
Chao Tian said: "There is nowhere to find the straw sandals, and it takes no effort to get them." ”
Capture the rebellion and go to Chaoge, send the order to raise troops, and quickly return to the five passes.
The Chaotian brothers suddenly returned, the cannon did not sound, no one shouted, and the flying clouds turned off the electricity and left. After traveling thirty-five miles, the soldiers arrived at Longshan Pass; I saw two flags waving, spreading people and horses, and shouting: "Chao Tian left King Wucheng early, and I have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of Prime Minister Jiang Cheng." ”
Chao Tian said angrily: "I don't hurt Xiqi General, how dare I intercept the court prisoners halfway?" "Horses and knives come to fight.
Xinjia made the axe to face and hand it back, the two horses intersected, the sword and axe were raised simultaneously, and the battle was twenty rounds. Xin Fu saw that Xin Jia's axe was better than Chao Tian, and thought to himself that since he had come to save General Huang, he had to step forward, urge the horse to make the axe, and kill into the camp.
Chao Lei saw that Xin was exempt from the horse, and he was poor in courtesy, and raised his sword to fight. Before the battle was counted, Chao Lei knew the plan, and left after the horse fell into the wilderness. Xin Fu killed the soldiers and saved Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu thanked him and rode out, watching Xinjia fight Chaotian, King Wucheng was furious and said: "I am grateful to Chaotian, this thief and wolf-hearted man." ”
The longitudinal cavalry came to fight with short soldiers, but before it could be counted, it was already captured by Zhao Xu and tied with a rope.
King Wu Cheng pointed and scolded: "Traitor, you are deceitful and plan to capture me, how can you have a chance of winning with Prime Minister Jiang's tricks?" "Hurriedly send Chao Tian back to Xiqi.
Chao Lei had to flee for his life, there was a way to go, the road was unfamiliar, lost in the trace, the right string left string, only in Xiqi Mountain. When I walked to the second watch, I went on the main road, and I saw that there was a lantern in front of me that did not collect the lantern at night. Chao Lei was frightened and left, and when the golden bell rang, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons and shouted.
In the light and shadow, Chao Lei said: "General Nan will let him live, and he will be rewarded the day after tomorrow." ”
Nangong said: "Needless to say, get off the horse early and be bound." ”
Chao Lei was furious and greeted him with a knife, where was Nangong's opponent. With a loud shout, he dismounted alive, tied the ropes on both sides, and brought back Xiqi. At this time, the sky was slightly bright, Zhao Xu was waiting in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Nangong also came back.
Zhao Xu said thank you, and when he was young, he heard the drums, and the generals consulted, and reported left and right: "Xinjia returned the order." ”
In front of the order, Xin Jia said: "The last general was ordered, Longshankou captured Chao Tian and saved General Huang, please make a decision." ”
Zhao Xu thanked: "If it weren't for the Prime Minister's rescue, I would have almost been poisoned by the anti-party." ”
Xu Ming said: "The intention is suspicious, so I know the deceit of the thief." Therefore, the three armies were ordered to serve in two places, and it was as I expected. ”
Again; "Nangong listens to orders."
In front of the palace, Nangong said: "I was ordered to guard Qishan, and at the second watch, I captured Chao Lei, please make a decision." ”
Xu Ming gave the order and pushed the second general to the eaves. Xu Ming shouted: "How can you hide it from me with this trick? These are all treacherous people, and they are ordered to be beheaded. ”
The military and political officer got the order and pushed the two generals out of the prime minister's mansion, only to hear Chao Lei shouting: "Wronged." ”
Xu Ming said with a smile: "Obviously and secretly plotting to harm people, why is it called wronged?" "Command to push and turn Chao Lei left and right.
Xu Ming said: "Brother Pifu plotted to kill Zhongliang, hoping to return to the country with high merit. I don't know what the old man knows; Now that he has been captured, he deserves to be beheaded, what is wronged? ”
Chao Lei said: "The prime minister is above, the world returns to Zhou, and everyone knows it." My brother said that both father and mother are singing, and the son is to Allah, and his father and mother are suffering. There is no way to think about it, so I set up a plan. Now he was seen through by the prime minister, and he was captured and beheaded, which is really understandable. ”
Xu Ming said: "You have your parents singing in the court, discuss with me, and design to allocate your family." Why such cruelty? ”
Chao Lei said: "The last general is mediocre and shallow, and he has no grand plans. Tell the prime minister early, and there is no such misfortune. "The road is full of faces.
Xu Ming was suspicious: "Are you true?" ”
Chao Lei said: "Will there be parents in the end, and dare to tell a lie again?" General Huang knows it all. ”
Xu Ming asked, "General Huang!" Does Chao Lei have parents? ”
Zhao Xu replied: "Yes." ”
Xu Ming nodded: "Since I have parents, this is true." The herald ordered Chao Tian to be put back, and the two knelt on the ground.
Xu Ming said: "Take Chao Tian as a hostage, Chao Lei will lead the simple post so and so, and move to Chaoge to get his family." Chao Lei led the order to the court.
