Chapter 7: Zhang Xianling and General Cao
Facing Zhang County's questioning, General Cao was furious, his voice also raised a few degrees, and he raised his eyebrows coldly, "What do you mean by this?" We are all grasshoppers in the same boat, if I knew that he was coming to transfer troops, could I not tell you in advance? Can you not notify the people of Dongyin? He exterminated the Dongyin people, what good is it for us? β
Zhang Xianling is a civil official, General Cao is a military general, every time the two of them argue, that is, Xiucai meets soldiers, Zhang Xianling is reasonable and can't be explained, General Cao habitually immediately raised his voice an octave and was arrogant and unreasonable, and arrogantly wanted to use his lofty voice to overwhelm everything.
If Zhang Xianling would have left on weekdays, waiting for him, a reckless man, to howl here, but now is different, now is not the time to intensify internal contradictions.
Zhang Xianling looked helpless, and said softly: "General Cao misunderstood, I don't mean anything else, I mean that His Royal Highness King Narui came back this time, neither alarmed anyone in my county government, nor did he alarm anyone in your Jiaozhou military camp, even his soldiers were sent out in secret, you say, did he already suspect us?" β
General Cao suddenly realized, "It's still Brother Zhang's thoughtfulness, yes, what you said is right, King Narui must have suspected us, Brother Zhang, what should we do next?" β
General Cao is this kind of brainless reckless man, as soon as the anger comes up, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will be scolded, and now he feels that Zhang Xianling is reasonable, and he can immediately call Zhang Xianling a brother and sister, and look at Zhang Xianling with an anxious face.
Zhang Xianling glanced at General Cao angrily, "Let me think about it." He turned around and stroked his goat's mustache, not wanting to look at General Cao's fat-headed and big-eared appearance.
King Rui's soldiers are temporarily settled in General Cao's barracks, because they think that if King Rui comes back to transfer troops, he will definitely go to the barracks, and they think that if King Rui comes back and goes to the barracks, can there be a reason they don't know? Therefore, they neglected to guard and guard the soldiers of King Rui.
King Rui didn't go to the barracks to transfer troops when he came back this time, he must have sent someone to secretly contact his soldiers in the barracks, and his soldiers must have sneaked out of the barracks, only in this way would General Cao not know that those soldiers of King Rui had left the barracks silently from under his nose.
"His Royal Highness King Rui is really clever, it seems that he was already suspicious of us when he was attacked by a sneak attack in Jiaozhou last time." Zhang Xianling said suddenly.
Then he turned to look at General Cao, still holding his goat's mustache and said, "He deliberately settled his soldiers in the general's barracks, so that we naturally feel that his soldiers are under our noses, and we will relax our guard against those soldiers." β
Zhang Xianling paused, "There is actually another advantage to him doing this, that is, even if he can't guess if there is a problem in the barracks, he entrusts those soldiers to you, and he is sure that you will settle his soldiers well."
General Cao, who couldn't turn his brain, asked with a blank face: "How do you say this, if he had doubted that he would have entrusted his soldiers to me?" Isn't he afraid that I will do poison to his soldiers? β
"Hmph" Zhang Xianling snorted coldly, glanced at General Cao with disdain, and asked, "Did you poison you?" β
"I ......" General Cao was dumbfounded, he recalled what King Rui had said to him that day, "General Cao, I know that General Zhennan is very fond of General Cao, and the general is the person who is favored by General Zhennan, and he must be the pillar of Ji Guo, and he must be the person worthy of the trust of this king, I entrust my brothers to you, you take good care of them, if this king can't come back, they are your brothers." β
That day, Gu Ziyi's words, but they entered General Cao's heart and made him beautiful for many days, he looked forward to King Rui being poisoned to death, and his elite soldiers were directly incorporated into his own barracks.
General Cao's daydream hadn't been going on for a few days, and when he woke up from the big dream, he said angrily: "What a Gu Ziyi, what he said to me at the beginning was actually deliberately tricked into me, and I still trust him so much." β
Zhang Xianling shook his head, a brainless reckless man is stupid, just like a monkey is born to climb a tree, a pig just pulls its tail up, and it can't climb a tree even if its tail is broken.
Zhang Xianling had already guessed that Gu Ziyi must have done this because he was sure that no matter whether there was a problem with the Jiaozhou military camp or not, it would be safe for him to put his soldiers in the barracks.
If there is no problem in the barracks, then General Cao will definitely protect Ji Guo's soldiers; If there is a problem in the barracks, General Cao is not clear about the form, and the final fate of these elite soldiers is also in his own hands, and General Cao will do enough to be good for those soldiers even if he plays on the spot.
Moreover, if Gu Ziyi really can't come back, he left those soldiers to General Cao, not necessarily because he installed Emperor Ji Wudi's spies in General Cao's barracks, but also gave those soldiers a chance to live.
"High, really high!" Gu Ziyi is thoughtful, Zhang Xianling has to admire, Ji Guo's god of war is not only brave, but his strategy is not comparable to ordinary people.
"What is high, Brother Zhang, just tell me what we should do next, right?"
General Cao is a martial artist, his kung fu is not bad, but he is a brave and unscrupulous person, he will only find Zhang County Commander when he encounters problems, which will be as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, pacing around the county magistrate's mansion in a hurry.
"What to do? How do you say? Zhang Xianling's voice suddenly raised, and his eyes looked at General Cao like a torch.
General Cao was stunned, and he didn't know why Zhang Xianling would ask himself, if he could figure it out, would he be in such a hurry? Immediately, he saw Zhang Xianling's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes showed a butcher-like fierce and fierce light, "There is only ...... thing now" He didn't finish his words; But General Cao had already understood his gestures.
General Cao's heart tightened, he didn't expect that the literati would be more ruthless than him as a general, he nodded, and now in order to protect himself, he can only get rid of Gu Ziyi first.
After the two discussed the strategy, they concealed the panic in their hearts with a ghost in their hearts, pretended to be happy, and went out to welcome the victorious return of the god of war.
For the first time, the people of Jiaozhou felt that the men in night clothes were also heroic and mighty, and they applauded the men in black again and again, and some excited people rushed forward to show favor to those soldiers, and the scene was out of control for a while.
Some of the older people are like thisβ
Come on, young man, these eggs are all laid by the chickens in the house, you take them, this is a little bit of Auntie's heart.
Come on, young man, these dried fruits are pickled by the aunt herself, you can take them and taste them.
Come on, young man, take these dried fish, this is a little bit of the heart of the guys in our shop.
β¦β¦
And some of the little girls are like thisβ
They chased the team with sachets in their hands, and if there was a man who saw them, they would stuff the sachet in their hands into someone's arms, and did not forget to add a sentence "Sachet repellent mosquitoes, if the son likes it, you can come to me and make another one, the sachet has the address and name of the slave." β
β¦β¦
The people of Jiaozhou are civilized, and women can use sachets to express their love; But if you accept someone else's sachet, you don't necessarily have to accept the other party's love, love is about your love and my willingness, if you don't like it, don't go to someone's house.
Xian Chen had already left Gu Ziyi's team, quietly returned to the inn to change into a daughter's outfit, and then went out.
She remembered that Gu Ziyi told her that he suspected that there was a spy of the Dongyin people in Jiaozhou Mansion, and he guessed that this spy had a high status in Jiaozhou Mansion, so Gu Ziyi went back to Jiaozhou in disguise to find an inn to live in, and did not dare to alarm the people in any department in the mansion, nor did he dare to call the coastal defense soldiers in Jiaozhou.
Xianchen went out, not to see the excitement, but to see if he could find any clues of spies in this lively crowd.
Zhang Xianling and General Cao came to greet Gu Ziyi, and the two bowed to greet each other, but Xian Chen, who was not far away, saw a faint look of fear and uneasiness on their faces.
Delicate dust willow eyebrows slightly locked.
After twelve years of intensive observation training, she was very confident in her ability to read her mind, and she had read the panic and fear in the looks of Zhang Xianling and General Cao, could it be that the two major officials in Jiaozhou had problems at the same time?
Xian Chen was very surprised, if the two leading figures in Jiaozhou had problems at the same time, then the situation in Jiaozhou would be very serious, she didn't dare to slack off, and stared at the two of them.
At this time, I saw General Cao give a look to a general beside him, and the general hid in the crowd and secretly left.
No one noticed the general's departure, only Xianchen, who secretly followed the general and followed him around to an alley, where there were already people waiting.
When the waiting man saw the general coming, he said impatiently: "General Zhao, what can't you say in the barracks, you have to ask me to talk about it here?" β
"Shhhhh......h β
Then the man made a motion to wipe his neck.
General Wei understood what General Zhao meant, with embarrassment written on his face, and his brows tightened, "General Zhao, that's the Third Highness, isn't this tantamount to rebellion?" This is a big crime that is full of beheadings, what if, what if there is an accident? β
Hearing what General Wei said, General Zhao also showed fear on his face, and his face sank, and then he felt another line in his heart, and said with luck in his eyes: "There will be no case, the general has already arranged, tonight the county government will set up a banquet, the banquet will invite King Rui and his soldiers to return from a great victory, the adults will poison the wine, everything is under the control of the adults and the generals."
