Chapter 34: Out of the City

Guo Dingyuan said: "I believe that we can naturally trust you, and we also believe that the daughter country will not collude with Hejis, but this matter will be investigated in the future, and we can't afford to bear the charge on our heads. It's going to be exterminated! ”

I was so cheerful at this time, Guo Dingyuan finally told the truth unintentionally - they didn't blindly want to go against me, nor did they really worry about what would happen to their daughter's country, but worried that they were carrying the black pot. As soon as I found the crux of the problem, I suddenly had the confidence again: "Didn't I tell everyone beforehand?" I will bear all the consequences. ”

Guo Dingyuan still shook his head and said: "I also said, you can't afford this consequence, General Xiao Shi!" ”

I said quietly, "Why can't I afford it?" ”

Guo Dingyuan said: "General Xiao Shi has not long been in the army, what mistakes have been committed, the marshal and his old man will never really think that you can mobilize 150,000 troops of the Left Route Army out of the city with your words, he will definitely think that it is our group of old guys who are taking the opportunity to make waves, and it is not clear who is unlucky at that time?" ”

I slapped the table and said, "General Guo, you also look down on me Shi Di Zai when you say that, right?" ”

Guo Dingyuan was stunned, he didn't expect me to suddenly erupt, and hesitated: "I mean ......"

I waved my hand and said, "I understand what you mean, you mean that I am a little child who gets into trouble, and I will only hide behind the adults afterwards, right?" ”

"This ......"

I said coldly: "What is the relationship between me and Marshal Shi?" ”

Guo Dingyuan said: "The whole army knows everything, do you need to say this?" ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, is Old Marshal Shi an old fool who only favors his own children?"

Guo Dingyuan sneered: "...... Of course not. ”

I said in my heart that of course you don't dare to say yes, and in fact, Shi Cundao has indeed done justice and impartiality - of course, even if he hides his secrets, he will never let outsiders see it, seeing that the other party has finally fallen into passivity, I took advantage of the victory to pursue and said: "Then what do you mean by those words just now?" Will my grandfather put all the pots on everyone's heads for the sake of his grandson? ”

"This ...... I didn't say that. ”

I softened my tone and said: "The youngest of you here are my brothers, most of them are my seniors, and some of them are even called grandpa. ”

"This ......" Guo Dingyuan just wanted to speak, but I stopped him and said: "General Guo doesn't have to hide it, you should disobey me, the 23-year-old former general Zuo can only be a laughing stock when he says it, the problem is that this is not what I want to be, let alone relying on my grandfather, everyone knows what is going on." ”

Guo Dingyuan said embarrassedly: "General Xiao Shi said this, it would be too embarrassing for me to wait." ”

I continued: "I had no choice but to become this former general of the left, and I happened to have a little relationship with the daughter country, and I wanted to contribute something to our Honglie Empire, is this wrong?" ”

Guo Dingyuan turned back when he heard my words, and said euphemistically: "It's not that I don't believe in General Xiao Shi's ability, the power of the sword god is obvious to all in the army, but we really can't be the master of this unauthorized use of troops." ”

I said impatiently: "Speaking of Guiqi, you are still afraid of taking responsibility, since you know my grandfather's personality, what are you worried about?" I'm saying this, he's going to trouble you afterwards, and I'm going to save you with my death. ”

Guo Dingyuan said: "This ...... Let me remind General Xiao Shi that if the old marshal really wants to turn his face and be ruthless, you may really have a surname to worry about......"

I smiled and said, "General Guo thinks my grandfather is really willing to kill me?" ”

"Uh......" Guo Dingyuan probably just wanted to scare me, but I didn't expect me to make it clear first, I put on a straight face and said: "Even if my grandfather really wants to kill me, the emperor has to agree, to put it cheekily, we Hong Liejun can't live without me now, right?" ”

"Uh-uh......" Guo Dingyuan was completely held by me, maybe I was too unreasonable to play cards, first I knew it with reason, and then I was forced to threaten, and now I am simply unscrupulous, everyone understands, Shi Cundao will definitely not dare to kill me, don't say that I am his grandson, even if I am an irrelevant person, but the generals did not expect that I would rely on small sales, and put myself in a position where strange goods can live, this cheeky person is not as thick as the wall of Xinzhou, and he will never be able to do this kind of thing. The words have been said on this, my surname is more explicit and said: "My grandfather is 80 years old, it is inevitable that sometimes he will be old and confused, you are all generals, you must know that there is a saying that the general will be outside the king's life, I just want to seize this opportunity for him, first of all, you don't have to be afraid of carrying the black pot, I feel that I can still carry this pot, and secondly, you don't have to be afraid that this matter will affect the future, and in another three or five years, who will sit in the position of the marshal, don't you understand?" When the time comes, I will definitely not forget the benefits of everyone. ”

"Ahem......" A few generals coughed suddenly, and it seemed that this old arm and leg could not stand such a violent words.

On a whim, I clapped my hands vigorously and said, "How about everyone, do you want to do it?" ”

Everyone looked at Guo Dingyuan, Guo Dingyuan lost his mind for a moment, and then said: "Since General Xiao Shi has made up his mind, then ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and everyone was waiting for his next words, because the second half of the sentence may be agreeable, or it may be a sharp turn, follow me to mess around, the risk is very great, and the return is very slim, after all, now the marshal of the three armies is still Shi Cundao, and I may not be able to take over the position of marshal in another three and five years, which is actually a gamble for the generals.

Guo Dingyuan finally stomped his feet and said, "Then do it!" It's nothing more than leading the soldiers out of the city to go around! ”

I was overjoyed, patted my leg and said, "Thank you General Guo for your success, I will resign from the position of the former general of the left when this matter is over, so that General Guo can be promoted one step higher." ”

Guo Dingyuan said solemnly: "I'm not doing this to increase my rank and become a knight. ”

I hurriedly said, "That's that." "My heart says bah, you obviously are!

Guo Dingyuan was taken down, and the other generals expressed their willingness to send troops, so I cleared my throat and said: "The Feifeng Army launched an assault in the early morning, and I don't know when it will be able to meet us, so how about we gather under the city on the 5th watch?" ”

The generals bowed together and said, "Obey the order." ”

When they went to prepare, I sat down in the chair, only to feel that my mouth was dry, Zhang Shilei wiped a cold sweat on the side and said: "Young master, you are really having a big time this time." ”

"Is it big? Why do I think we're just getting started? ”

Zhang Shilei trembled and said, "Young master, what do you want to do?" ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's a natural thing for a man to take care of a woman, young master, I can't bear to let a group of girls fight outside and sit at home watching a play." ”

Zhang Shilei nodded and said: "That's right, but this matter will let the marshal know that the consequences will be really unpredictable in the future, otherwise, I will hurry to Xinzhou now to ask the marshal, in case he agrees, won't we have an excuse?" ”

"It's too late, I'll go back from here to Shinshu, even if I come back non-stop, it's tomorrow afternoon."

Zhang Shilei said: "I know, isn't this just to find a step down for you and the marshal, and there will be an explanation afterwards." ”

I sighed and said, "If you don't do it, how can you take care of these vain heads now." ”

Zhang Shilei came up to me and said, "Young master, why are you helping your daughter so much?" ”

I said casually: "I have a crush on their Su Jing." ”

"This ...... Not really, right? Zhang Shilei was dumbfounded.

"Nonsense, tease you, I'll squint for a while, and call me on the fourth watch."

…… Just a while after the fourth watch, I was already standing under the city wall against the night wind, the entire Fuzhou city was quiet, and there was no sign of the army's action, Zhang Shilei muttered to himself: "They won't not come, right?" ”

"They dare!" I said so, in fact, I didn't have the bottom in my heart, I could only wait like a fool with my hands in my hands, and after about half an hour, I was a little unbreathable when I suddenly saw a little fire in the direction of the city, and when I got a little closer, I was sure that it was a torch, a team of no less than 10,000 people slowly marched towards this side, a general rode on a horse and walked in front of the team, he saw me from a distance and hurriedly galloped on, hugged his fists and said: "Back to the left front general, the last general Guo Dingyuan will report to the headquarters!" ”

I felt a lot more at ease, said hard, let him and his subordinates rest on the side temporarily, what I was most afraid of was that he put me together, I didn't expect him to be the first to come, and after a while, people from all walks of life reported one after another, and the city of Fuzhou gathered into a sea of soldiers. I knew that the first step of my operation had been successful, and the generals had finally bet their chips on my side in this game, but obviously there was still an element of speculation in this - they understood that this would not really offend Shi Cundao, but if they didn't, they would definitely offend me, and these old foxes had a very good calculation!

When the fifth watch was approaching, all 150,000 men and horses of the Left Route Army had arrived. At this time, it was already early winter, and the black-pressed soldiers were standing silently at the foot of the city, and the hot air was steaming, and Guo Dingyuan and other generals were also standing under the city with their hands down, waiting for my next instructions.

I stood on a high place, looking at the camp of Hegis ten miles away, and I began to worry again: what if my mother didn't come? There is a saying that everything is ready only to owe the east wind, and I am now the east wind, as long as my mother moves, my wind can blow over immediately, but in the event of an accident, no matter how strong the wind is, I can't blow it up.

Just when the east was just revealing the whiteness of the fish's belly, Zhang Shilei suddenly said: "Look, there is a mess in the southwest direction of Hegis!" "I fixed my eyes, and sure enough, even in the dim sky, I could still see the wind and dust in the Hagis army, and the whole army and horses were constantly reinforcing to the southwest. I turned around abruptly and said, "Generals, the time has come!" ”

Guo Dingyuan said: "The last general will wait for the whole army to go out of the city!" ”

I waved my hand and said, "Wait, I have something for you to bring to the soldiers of the whole army." ”

"Please show the former general left."

I fixed my mind and said, "I have only one sentence - you tell the soldiers that there is a group of beautiful female soldiers waiting to meet them outside, and we will go and bring them back!" ”
