Chapter 0751 - A Little Misunderstanding
"There are some things that you can't do, O boyo. And there are some things that can't be done! ”
Feng Yong said to Jiang Wei earnestly.
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand.
Feng Junhou sighed, and had to be more clear: "Although it will be outside, the king's order will not be affected." ”
"But this kind of thing about crossing the river against the order can be said by me, and even you, Boqi, and Xiaoxing, can be raised."
"Only it can't be said by Wei Lao Pifu, nor can he do it, let alone in front of the public."
Although one has no more than a few thousand soldiers, it has the right to be autonomous.
Although one has 20,000 troops, it is limited to the east of the river.
If the two of them conspired so openly and honestly, how to disobey the military order, who knows what will happen when it is passed out?
Although Zhuge Old Demon is fair and strict, it is precisely because of fairness and strictness that Feng Yong is not sure what Zhuge Old Demon will think about this matter.
What if he had a convulsion, and he really had to follow the rules?
Even if Zhuge Old Demon took Jincheng County and Xiping County because of himself, he would not pursue it afterwards.
But how many years can Zhuge old demon cover?
Who can guarantee that this thing cannot become a thorn in the depths?
But these words cannot be spoken.
Looking at Jiang Wei's appearance as if he understood or not, and then remembering that he was kicked by his own people at both ends, and finally had to surrender to the big man, Feng Yong sighed.
The political IQ of Boyo is estimated to be stronger than that of Wei Lao Pifu, and it can't be more.
"Birjo, go and get ready."
Feng Yong had no choice but to whisper to him.
Jiang Wei suddenly came to his senses.
He clenched his fists gratefully, and as soon as he walked to the tent, he suddenly turned around again: "The prince ......"
"Huh? What else? ”
Feng Yong asked strangely.
Jiang Wei's face showed embarrassment, "If the prime minister asks, ......"
"Even if you say it bluntly, I can't say anything to the prime minister."
As soon as Feng Yong heard this, he knew the scruples in his heart.
Anyway, if I think about it carefully, I don't expect to be able to play with someone like Zhuge Old Demon.
Jiang Wei nodded, and then walked out.
Li Jian got Feng Yong's orders, so he first sent someone to arrange food for the Zhang family's uncles and nephews, and then led them towards the ferry outside Jincheng City.
Along the way, I saw a group of soldiers hurrying eastward.
At the same time, many generals on horseback were constantly urging, as if there was something urgent, and they were ignoring the scorching sun.
The uncles and nephews of the Zhang family glanced at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Didn't you say that Yuzhong was broken? Even Wei Ping, the defender of Yuzhong, died in battle.
At this time, what else can happen to the east of the Golden City?
Can't do it...... Did Li Jian lie to them?
Li Jian didn't see their doubts, and just urged them to move forward.
Because of the wind in Jincheng, the pontoon bridge at the ferry port was not destroyed.
Li Jian led the uncle and nephew of the Zhang family to the ferry, stretched out his hand and saluted: "Please." ”
There was a large raft made of cowhide parked by the river, enough to carry one or twenty people.
Zhang looked at the pontoon bridge not far away, only to see that it was crowded with people, and then remembered what he saw on the road just now, and his heart couldn't help but move.
He pretended to be casual and asked, "Why don't you take the bridge?" ”
Li Jian had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to mind Zhang Zheng's attitude at all.
"Don't hide it from Zhang Changshi, the prince has already ordered that the bridge will be demolished, so he only wronged Zhang Taishou and Zhang Changshi to cross the river by boat."
"Tear down the bridge?" Not only Zhang Yu, but Zhang Hua couldn't help but look over there.
As soon as Jincheng is lost, the gate of Liangzhou will be opened, and the Shu people will not take the opportunity to go west, but plan to demolish the bridge?
Seeing the suspicion in the eyes of the two, Li Jian didn't explain, and stretched out his hand again: "Please." ”
It's just that for a while, they couldn't see the situation over there, so the uncle and nephew of the Zhang family had to get on the boat with full doubts.
Before they reached the center of the river, they heard a sudden commotion coming from the rear.
The people on the raft looked back and saw that the pontoon bridge, which had been well tied, had dispersed, and some pontoon boats used to support it flowed down the river.
Still others are trying to pull the fleeing pontoons back to the river.
Are they really tearing down bridges?
The uncle and nephew of the Zhang family glanced at each other again.
Until Li Jian sent them to the other side, the two still had a feeling of dreaming.
Li Jian arched his hand at them, turned back to the raft, and headed towards Jincheng again.
At this time, I saw black smoke suddenly rising from the opposite bank.
"They're burning bridges!" Zhang Hua said in surprise, he looked at his nephew again, "Such a good opportunity, why don't the Shu people take the opportunity to cross the river?" ”
Zhang looked at the black smoke on the other side, and his eyes flashed: "Uncle, you said that the Shu soldiers are heading to the east, will it have anything to do with this?" ”
"You mean Yuzhong?"
Zhang Hua said the doubts he had on the road.
Zhang shook his head, turned his head to look east, and his gaze became deeper and deeper: "It may not be Yuzhong." If Yuzhong had not fallen, the Shu people would not have stayed in Jincheng for so long to support. ”
"It's not Yuzhong, where is that?"
Zhang Hua couldn't turn the corner for a while.
Zhang looked around, all of them were his own cronies, so he lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, has you forgotten Guanzhong?" ”
"Guanzhong?"
When Zhang Hua heard this, he woke up suddenly and involuntarily looked to the east.
"Yes, Guanzhong. Last year, Dawei was unprepared for a while, and only then was the Shu people get the first opportunity. ”
"Now that more than a year has passed, the elite soldiers of Wei State Dingkou are ten times better than Shu State, how can they not try to win Longyou?"
The more Zhang thought about it, the more likely it became, "The Shu people attacked Jincheng in Yuzhong with tens of thousands of troops, how could the movement not be known to Guanzhong?" ”
"Therefore, the Shu people returned to the east of the division in such a hurry, maybe it was Wei who noticed Longyou's movements, so they made some moves in Guanzhong."
Zhang Hua heard it and felt that there was some truth, but he asked again: "Are you sure?" ”
Zhang listened to it, a little helpless.
This uncle of mine has the courage to do it, but his mind can't turn around.
"Now that Liangzhou is cut off from Guanzhong, the news we got from Guanzhong was more than half a year ago."
"Last winter, the Wei army was safe in Dingjun County, and the city of the Broken Moon Clan was enough to show General Cao's heart."
At this point, Zhang pointed to the east and then to the other side.
"The country of Shu is small and the people are weak, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers are raised to attack Jincheng in Yuzhong, how many troops can be left in Hanzhong and Longyou?"
"And in addition to the great victory, the Shu soldiers did not take the opportunity to march into Hexi, but hurriedly returned to the division and made the move of burning the bridge, isn't it just to guard against Hexi?"
"Therefore, in the little nephew's mind, it is very likely that the war in the east of the Shu people is tight, forcing them to give up such a great opportunity."
When Zhang Hua heard this, he patted his thigh: "This is reasonable!" ”
Zhang opened his mouth, wanting to say that this was just his guess, but when he saw the smoke billowing on the other side, he had something else in mind.
Now Liangzhou must be people's hearts floating, since the Shu people do not cross the river, it is better to use the news of the Guanzhong Wei army attacking Longyou to appease the Liangzhou officials.
Anyway, the news between Liangzhou and Guanzhong is cut off, and there are all kinds of rumors, even if there is more of this, it doesn't matter.
The uncle and nephew of the Zhang family stood by the river, making sure that the pontoon bridge had been burned half, and the Shu people really had no intention of crossing the river, so they headed towards the nearest Zhiyang City.
Although there are no horses to travel, the scholars of this era like to reason with others with their fists and feet.
In addition, Zhiyang City is not too far from here, so there is no problem in walking there.
The cities of Liangzhou are either like Yuzhong, or like Jincheng, or like the long-standing big city of Guzang in Wuwei County, otherwise they are generally short.
Just like the walls of Zhiyang City, they are not only short, but also dilapidated.
The reason is also very simple: the Liangzhou Rebellion of more than 100 years.
If it's broken, it's broken, and in the end there are not even a few people, who is still in the mood to repair the city?
That is, in recent years, it has been more stable, so the city wall has been barely repaired.
Near the city gate, the mud walls are fresher in some places than in others, and it can be seen that they were added later.
It's just that when people get closer and take a closer look, in fact, many places of the city wall are completely like a barren hill of loess, and a lot of weeds have grown on it.
The gates were shut, and the head of the city was empty, so that not even a single soldier could be seen guarding the city.
The cronies of the Zhang family walked to the city gate and shouted, "Is there anyone in the city?" ”
The city was quiet.
The cronies shouted several times, and the head of the city trembled and poked out half of his head, and the back of the head faintly revealed the corner of the white flag, "Who are you waiting for?" ”
"Jincheng County Shou Zhang Envoy Jun is here, don't open the city gate quickly!"
"Zhang Yuanjun?"
When the people above heard this, they dared to stick out their heads all, opened their eyes wide, and looked at the more than ten people under the city.
"Shu is rampant, and there are many rogues, for the sake of the people of Zhiyang, I have to be careful, dare to ask how to prove it?"
Zhang Hua walked out and held the seal ribbon: "Jincheng Taishou seal ribbon is here." ”
The people at the head of the city saw Zhang Hua clearly, and with a "sigh", their heads retracted suddenly.
After a while, several old and weak people pushed the gate open with a creak.
An official trotted out of the room and bowed his hand to Zhang Hua again and again, "Zhiyang County Magistrate Chen Lu has seen the envoy. The lower official was blinded for a while, and he failed to recognize the envoy and forgive his sins! ”
Zhang Hua looked at the few old and weak soldiers at the city gate, and the empty city couldn't help asking, "How did Guiyang City become so ruined?" ”
Obviously, he went to Jincheng to take office a few months ago, and when he passed through Zhiyang, although it was not prosperous, there were some people here.
As soon as Chen Lu heard Zhang Hua ask about this, his face showed a look of crying and mourning: "Back to the envoy, run away, run away!" ”
"A few days ago, the people who escaped from Jincheng said that Yuzhong and Jincheng were not in the hands of Shulu, and even the envoy was ......."
When he said this, he suddenly came to his senses and stopped talking.
Then he changed the subject: "When the city sergeants heard this, they all fled, and there were only the old and weak in the city." ”
Chen Lu secretly glanced at Zhang Hua, and when he saw that his face was ugly, his tone became angry.
"Xia Guan once advised his colleagues to say that if they eat the Great Wei Lu rice, they should be the Great Wei Festival, but no one wants to listen, and the Xia Guan can only guard the city gate."
Speaking of this, he wiped his eyes, "Now that the lower officials see that the king is safe and sound, I think it must be the rumors spread by those greedy people, and their hearts should be punished, they should be punished!" ”
The more the magistrate of Zhiyang County said, the more ugly Zhang Hua's face became.
Seeing that his uncle couldn't pull his face, he finally stood up.
"County Magistrate Chen, Yuzhong Jincheng is indeed occupied by Shu captives, and what those people said is not wrong."
"What?! Is Jincheng really lost? ”
Chen Lu's voice became sharper, he took two steps back, and his eyes involuntarily looked back.
The look on his face was blue and white, uncertain, and wonderful.
"That'...... The Han army ......"
Thinking of a certain possibility, Chen Lu became stammered.
"Don't worry, Shu Yu didn't follow."
Zhang shook his head, signaling him not to worry.
Jincheng is lost, and Shu is not captured in Hexi?
And then Taishou and Changshi are still safe and sound?
Chen Lu's eyes began to flicker.
"I heard that the Han army is huge this time, and if Jincheng is lost, Hexi will be empty, why don't they go to the river?"
On weekdays, who would dare to question them like this with the county magistrate below?
It's just that now that he has lost Jincheng, he was put back by the Shu people, and he lacks confidence.
So Zhang Hua had to pretend to be impatient and said, "What else? Since General Cao Da from Guanzhong sent troops, the Shu prisoners in Jincheng have already returned to the division. ”
When Chen Lu heard this, all the expressions on his face suddenly froze, and after a while, he asked in disbelief: "What the envoy said, but is it true?" ”
As soon as Zhang wanted to stop it, Zhang Hua had already said quickly: "What are you lying to!" ”
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the river and take a look, the bridges there have been burned by the Shu people, just to prevent Hexi from echoing Guanzhong."
Chen Lu was ecstatic: "Great! ”
Hexi had been isolated from the imperial court for more than a year, and now he suddenly learned that he saw Chen Lu's eyes wide, without focus, and his vision was scattered.
The look on his face seemed to be crying instead of crying, he was stunned, and he was stupid for a while.
When Zhang Hua saw him like this, he sighed in his heart: This county magistrate Chen is so loyal!
There is even some shame.
At the moment, he saluted Chen Lu, "County Magistrate Chen, the loss of Jincheng is the fault of us, and we are waiting for this trip to go to Guzang and ask Xu Tingshi for guilt." I wonder if I can eat something in the city? ”
Chen Lu hurriedly got out of the way, "How dare the villain accept Zhang Changshi's gift?" The city is withered, and the food is coarse, as long as Zhang Zhijun and Zhang Changshi do not give up. ”
Although Zhang Hua and Zhang went to ask the assassin for guilt, but the assassin did not convict him for a day, they were still the highest governors of Jincheng County.
When they had finished eating, they personally came forward to appease the people who remained in the city before leaving.
Chen Lu waited until it was dark, and saw that there were not even a few fleeing refugees in the direction of Jincheng, let alone a Shu army.
Only then did he feel relieved.
Thinking of Zhiyang City, only he sticks to the city, this matter of loyalty and duty, it must have reached Xu Tingshi's ears.
It would be better if General Cao of Guanzhong really led his troops to restore Longyou, and Hexi could communicate with Guanzhong.
I can't say that I can still get a commendation from the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Chen Lu couldn't hold back in his heart, so he sent someone to bring back some of the family members hidden in the mountains, and then talked with the concubine about the script related to the future all night.
Because of the lack of sleep at night, County Magistrate Chen was still asleep after dawn.
Then there was a subordinate who knocked on the door vigorously "bang bang": "Lord, lord, it's not good!" ”
After Chen Lu was woken up, he just wanted to turn over, but suddenly let out an "oops", and then touched his old waist.
I only felt that my waist was sore and sore, and I felt like I had been hollowed out.
The concubine hurriedly got up to help him get dressed.
After a long while, Chen Lu's face turned pale, and he pushed open the door with vague steps, and scolded angrily: "Why are you so yelling? ”
"Lord, outside, outside......" the subordinate stammered, "Shu army!" The Shu army is coming! ”
Shu army?
What Shu army?
Taishou and Changshi clearly said that the Shu army would not come......
County Magistrate Chen held his waist and was about to take two steps, but he didn't know whether he was frightened or his legs were weak, but he stumbled.
"Dog, are you blind?"
County Magistrate Chen scolded angrily.
The subordinate hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
County Magistrate Chen asked people to help him walk to the front yard, and before he could order people to open the door, he saw the gate squeak and squeak twice, and it fell down with a "boom".
"Who is Chen Lu?"
The Han army who rushed in shouted.
Chen Lu's body shrank, but the clothes on his body were really conspicuous, and the generals of the Han army had already set their eyes on him.
"Little ...... The villain, Zheng, is Chen Lu. ”
"You are the magistrate of Zhiyang County?"
The leading Han army general looked Chen Lu up and down and asked.
Chen Lu's body was a little trembling, and he didn't know whether he was false or frightened: "Xiao ...... The villain is exactly. ”
"Whoa"!
From the gate to the front yard, the Han army lined up in two straight columns.
A young general walked in from outside the gate and walked in front of Chen Lu: "County Magistrate Chen? ”
"Yes, exactly."
The young general nodded: "I am Captain of the Great Han Huqiang, Feng Yong." ”
Chen Lu's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Xiaowen...... It turned out to be General Wen. ”
"My surname is Feng."
Feng Yong stared at him steadily.
"Yes, yes, the villain has seen General Feng."
After a while, sweat began to flow on Chen Lu's forehead.
"I waited outside the city for a long time, but I didn't see anyone open the city gate, and I thought that County Magistrate Chen was not there."
"No, no, no, no." Chen Lu wiped his sweat, "The villain heard that General Wen would not come, so he didn't prepare for it for a while. ”
Thinking of the white flag that had been prepared to be placed at the head of the city a long time ago, Chen Lu felt full of regret in his heart.
"My surname is Feng."
"Ah, yes, General Feng."
"Who told you I wasn't coming?"
"Zhang Taishou and Zhang Changshi."
Feng Yong listened and smiled slightly.
Seeing Chen Lu's expression of remorse and almost crying, Feng Yong asked, "Why is County Magistrate Chen like this?" ”
"Villain, villain is fine, I just want to say something."
"What?"
"Uncle and nephew of the Zhang family, his mother!"
"Very good!"
At the same time, Zhang Hua and Zhang Zhu had just appeased the officials of Yunjie County and were about to leave and go to Lingju.
